    To better understand this function you should execute this code first :

    <?php
            // First of all choose your path , For e.g. C:/session
            session_save_path('Your Path here !');
       
            session_start();
       
            // Define a Session Variable
            $_SESSION['Key'] = 'value' ;
       
            Var_dump(session_status() == PHP_SESSION_ACTIVE);
       
            // Output : bool(True) , it means you have an open session !
    ?>

    Then you should execute this code :

    <?php
            // Choose the path that you used it in first part 
            session_save_path('Your path here');
       
            session_start();
       
            // If you want to close session and keep your original data in your path , you should use session_abort()
            session_abort();
       
            var_dump(session_status()== PHP_SESSION_ACTIVE);
       
            // Output : bool(False) , it means your session closed .
    ?>

    So if you have an open session , session_abort() will simply close it without effecting the external session data , so you can reload your data again from your path that you chose .
