string session_encode ( void )

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

Please note, the serialization method is not the same as serialize(). The serialization method is internal to PHP and can be set using session.serialize_handler.

### Return Values
