On the server, where is session information stored?

Hi.

I'm learning about sessions and ci's session class.

I understand that session information is stored on the server for every session.
On my testing server, when I have set up sessions, where in the file system do I go in order to inspect the server-side parts of sessions?

Thanks.

Actually, because CI doesn't use real php sessions, the "session" data is really stored in a cookie, which lives in the browser. No data is stored on the server unless the database functionality is implemented.

The session data isn't stored in a flat file. In case you want to see the contents of the session:

Code:

var_dump($_SESSION[]);

That doesn't work, because as skunkbad already wrote, CI, doesn't use PHP's sessions.
