The $_SESSION superglobal variable is nothing more than that. Calling session_start will populate it with an existing session, and when the request ends the contents will be stored. Once you've closed or destroyed the session it does not stop working because it's nothing more than a superglobal variable, it just won't be stored at the end of the request.
