[development] What is the difference between the $_SESSION array and client side cookies?

[Cameron Eagans]

This is more of a general PHP question.

Cookie = client side information. Can be manipulated on the client side.
$_SESSION = server side information. The only thing that's stored on the
client site is a session id. Cannot be manipulated on the client side.

Thanks,
Cameron
