There's no magic. Session variables behave exactly like any other
variable. If you output a session variable before initializing it, you
will see nothing (and a notice is generated, depending on your
error_reporting setting).

The only difference, in terms of using session variables, is that they
persist from page to page.

This is exactly what happens, although when you assign a variable a new
value, I wouldn't call it initializing, since the variable already exists.

Hope that helps.
