PHP Sessions do store the session_id in the cookie, (depending on the configuration, but default is:) nothing else.

E.g. setting $_SESSION['username'] does not send a cookie called username.

You cannot access these variables, they are stored in files on the server in /tmp directories, on my server it's

session.save_path => /var/lib/php5 => /var/lib/php5

And the option to save session in files is

session.save_handler => files => files

These variables can be obtained through php -i | grep session or phpinfo();.

You have to explicitly set a cookie using set_cookie(); to make it accessable through JavaScript.
