PHP needs to be started by a web server in order to use the $_SESSION variable. The Websocket server is started by the command line, not a web server.

However, the session cookies are available during the handshake. You can use that value, along with session_name() and session_start() to populate the $_SESSION variable. Just be sure that you write and close the session as soon as you're done, otherwise it'll be locked and could cause some difficult to troubleshoot issues.
