Or are they only manipulated by the server? For instance, can we always assume that Auth.User.Id always corresponds to the current user?
A user cannot modify PHP sessions on the server. They can only forge a legitimate cookie and masquerade as a logged-in user - but that will require them to steal a valid cookie in the first place.
Session variables can be accessed on the client side. For example you could check the value by calling: alert('<%=Session["RegisterId"] %>'); Anything between the "<%" and "%>" runs at the server so it will evaluate the current value of the session.
Cookies are in control of the user. Anyone can add, delete, or alter the value of any cookie.
Update Session Variable in PHP To update any value stored in the session variable, start the session by calling session_start() function and then simply overwrite the vakue to update session variable.
Session variables are always kept and protected at the server. When using PHP's default implementation at least. So yes, as long as its set right.
Only a unique ID identifying the session is sent to the client.
