Question

I am running a PHP application on an apache server. Where can I find the session files that the server creates? is there a standard file name for php sessions?

Answer 1

Normally they are stored under /tmp. You can also check session.save_path in the php.ini (or use phpinfo();) for more details.

Sometimes they are also stored in a database. You might want to check if session.save_handler is set to files.
