Are there alternative methods to using JavaScript for session management in PHP, especially for cases where JavaScript is disabled?

When JavaScript is disabled, traditional methods of session management using cookies may not work effectively. An alternative approach is to use PHP sessions along with URL rewriting to maintain session data without relying on JavaScript. This can be achieved by appending a session ID to URLs and checking for it on subsequent requests to maintain session state. 

<?php
session_start();

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

// Start or resume the session
session_start();

// Set session data
$_SESSION['username'] = 'john_doe';

// Append session ID to URLs
echo '<a href="page.php?sid='.session_id().'">Next Page</a>';
?>
