What are the benefits of converting cookie-based functionality to sessions in PHP?

Converting cookie-based functionality to sessions in PHP can improve security by storing sensitive data on the server-side rather than on the client-side. This also allows for more control over session data and easier management of user sessions. 

<?php
// Start a session
session_start();

// Set session variables
$_SESSION['username'] = 'john_doe';
$_SESSION['email'] = 'john_doe@example.com';

// Access session variables
echo 'Username: ' . $_SESSION['username'];
echo 'Email: ' . $_SESSION['email'];

// Destroy session
session_destroy();
?>
