How can browser settings, such as cookie blocking, affect PHP session functionality?

Browser settings, such as cookie blocking, can affect PHP session functionality by preventing the session cookie from being stored and retrieved properly. This can lead to sessions not persisting between page loads or users being constantly assigned new session IDs. To solve this issue, you can use URL rewriting to pass the session ID in the URL instead of relying on cookies. 

<?php
session_start();

if(isset($_GET['session_id'])) {
    session_id($_GET['session_id']);
}

// Rest of your PHP code
?>
