Are there alternative methods to handle session management in a PHP application that does not involve storing cookies on the server?

Storing session data on the server without using cookies can be achieved by passing the session ID in the URL or using hidden form fields. This can be useful in cases where cookies are not supported or disabled by the user's browser. 

<?php
session_start();

// Check if session ID is passed in the URL
if(isset($_GET['session_id'])){
    session_id($_GET['session_id']);
}

// Set session data
$_SESSION['user_id'] = 123;

// Retrieve session data
echo $_SESSION['user_id'];
?>
