<para>
Reads the session data from the session storage, and returns the result back to PHP for internal processing.
This method is called automatically by PHP when a session is started (either automatically or explicity
with <function>session_start</function> and is preceeded by an internal call to the
<function>SessionHandler::open</function>.
</para>
<para>
This method wraps the internal PHP save handler defined in the
<link linkend="ini.session.save-handler">session.save_handler</link> ini setting that was set
before this handler was set by <function>session_set_save_handler</function>.
</para>
<para>
If this class is extended by inheritiance, calling the parent <parameter>read</parameter> method will invoke the
wrapper for this method and therefor invoke the associated internal callback. This allows the method to be
overidden and or intercepted and filtered (for example, decrypting <parameter>$data</parameter> value
returned by the parent <parameter>read</parameter> method).
</para>
<para>
For more information on what this method is expected to do, please refer to the documentation at
<function>SessionHandlerInterface::read</function>.
