Can sessions be passed through meta-refresh in PHP?

Sessions cannot be passed through meta-refresh in PHP because meta-refresh is a client-side redirect and does not carry session information. To pass sessions through redirects, you can use URL parameters or store session data in cookies. 

// Start the session
session_start();

// Store session data in a cookie
setcookie(session_name(), session_id(), time() + 3600, '/');

// Redirect with session data in URL parameters
header("Location: new_page.php?".session_name()."=".session_id());
exit();
