Sessions and session cookies are 2 different things. Session cookies
are just cookies with no expiration date given (the default
expiration date is at the end of the *browser* session). Sessions use
a session cookie to store an ID which relates information stored on
the server to that specific client. Session cookies are
language-neutral... they're just cookies.

I'm sure he was talking about sessions not session cookies. The only
diff between a session cookie and a regular cookie is that you don't
explicitely set an expiration date on a session cookie.

dig?
