session_encode

Encodes the current session data as a session encoded string

&reftitle.description; ``string``false```session_encode`

`session_encode` returns a serialized string of the contents of the current session data stored in the $_SESSION superglobal.

By default, the serialization method used is internal to PHP, and is not the same as `serialize`. The serialization method can be set using session.serialize_handler.

&reftitle.parameters; &no.function.parameters;
&reftitle.returnvalues;

Returns the contents of the current session encoded, &return.falseforfailure;.

&reftitle.notes;

Must call `session_start` before using `session_encode`.
