Use of session in Magento:
Let’s start this blog with the session definition, ‘It is a way to preserve certain data across subsequent accesses’. This enables you to build more customized applications and increase the appeal of your web site. Now, Let’s see how to set ,unset and retrieve a session in Magento.

Hi friends,

Some people ask about the difference between

Mage::getModel() and Mage::getSingleton()

in Magento. Here is the difference between these two:

Mage::getModel('module/model')

will create a new instance of the model object (if such object exists in configuration)
