I am wondering if anything from the $_SESSION array needs to be escaped before I use it in a SQL query.
Note that I don’t use cookies in my application, since I’ve heard that they could be used for session hijacking (?)
Thanks a lot

You need to escape every string you pass to the sql query, ragardless of its origin.
Even if it is the data you retrieved from your database.
