How can caching affect the persistence of session data in PHP applications, and how can this be managed effectively?

Caching can affect the persistence of session data in PHP applications by storing outdated or incorrect session information. To manage this effectively, you can disable caching for pages that handle session data or set appropriate cache-control headers to prevent caching of sensitive data. 

// Disable caching for pages that handle session data
session_cache_limiter('nocache');
session_start();

// Set appropriate cache-control headers
header('Cache-Control: no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, max-age=0');
