Mostly i have used $_SESSION, But while reading about Session i got few terms
$_ENV &
$_COOKIE.
I am not getting clear about when to use which one, i am confuse about the situation where i can use them. So How these term are different?

All three are superglobal, that means any script in your application can access it, BUT
while $_SESSION and $_COOKIE are different (and private) for each user, the $_ENV superglobal is not specific to a user. The difference between $_SESSION and $_COOKIE is that $_COOKIE can live beyond the current user visit, while the session will end when the user leave your site (or close his browser).
