title: Cakephp tmp directory: Cache and Session Folders
body: <p>Can someone please explain to me what kind of data is stored in these directories?</p>
  
  <p>For example, I have an active session (with auth) now but the sessions directory is empty?</p>
  
  <p>What exactly is stored in the folders (models, persistent, views) within the cache folder?</p>
  
  <p>Ex in the persistent folder I have a file called 'myapp_cake_core_cake_dev_en-us' and if I open that I can see:</p>
  
  <pre><code>1363808159
  a:1:{s:11:"LC_MESSAGES";a:0:{}}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please be as specific as possible.</p>
