Hi. This question might have been asked by lots of member in lots of forums, but I’m getting confused with some points, mentioned in w3schools.com and other impaortant websites.
1) What is session and why do we need to use it?
2) What is this statement meaning?
[QUOTE]
When you work with an application, you open it, do some changes, and then you close it. This is much like a Session. [B]The computer knows who you are[B]the web server does not know who you are or what you do[B]because the HTTP address doesn’t maintain state
The first bold statement is “The computer knows who you are?” What is this mean?
2ndly: The web server does not know who you are and what you do? What is the meaning of server knows me and it knows that what i am doing? What this doing refers to?
Thirdly:
HTTP does not maintain state? What type of state it is referring to and why does it need to maintain state?
3).

Most sessions set a user-key on the user’s computer that looks something like this: 765487cf34ert8dede5a562e4f3a7e12. Then, when a session is opened on another page, it scans the computer for a user-key
And finally what is this user key means and how our computer is being scanned?
If anyone can answer any of these three questions, It would be highly lauded. Thanks
