Here you create a new session object, and place the pointer to the object in $session.
Anyway, better look here if you want to learn about sessions (that was one click away from the first page you entered :) )
For your info, you need to store the session information on the webserver (either in a database, or on a file on the server). When you do another request and send your 'ticket' (session id), the server reads the proper session, and knows about your session data that is stored.
