Several predefined variables in PHP are “superglobals”, which means that they are always accessible, regardless of scope – and you can access them from any function, class or file without having to do anything special.

• $_POST
• $_GET
• $_FILES
• $_ENV
• $_COOKIE
• $_SESSION

$_SESSION superglobals does not necessarily contain data from the client
