How to find php session start timestamp

I recall recently that you recently read that you can get the server session start time in the exact timestamp format when the php session was started for the user, but I can not find this article again.

What I don't want is the request time (i.e. time 'REQUEST_TIME') or the "current timestamp" compared to execution date(), because (if I understand them correctly), they will change for each request and each script execution.

What I want is the time when the session was initiated on the server, and this logically can be only one point in time.

Apparently, this information was received.

Can anyone help?

if (!isset($_SESSION['started'])) {
    $_SESSION['started'] = $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME'];
}

if (!isset($_SESSION['start_time']))
{
    $str_time = time();
    $_SESSION['start_time'] = $str_time;
}

echo $_SESSION['start_time'];

$_SESSION['started'] = (!isset($_SESSION['started'] ? time() : $_SESSION['started']);
