Answer 1

If you want to decode session data, use session_decode (see the manual). unserialize only decodes single variables, not session data.

You can do something like:

$file = '/var/www/html/products/var/session/sess_ciktos8icvk11grtpkj3u610o3';
$contents = file_get_contents($file);
session_start();
session_decode($contents);
print_r($_SESSION);
