Are there any security concerns to consider when using sessions in PHP, and how can they be addressed?

One security concern when using sessions in PHP is session fixation, where an attacker can set the session ID before the session is started, potentially allowing them to hijack the session. To address this, you can regenerate the session ID after a successful login to prevent session fixation attacks. 

<?php

// Start or resume session
session_start();

// Regenerate session ID after successful login
if($successful_login) {
    session_regenerate_id();
}

?>
