How can data be passed between PHP scripts efficiently?

To pass data between PHP scripts efficiently, you can use sessions or cookies to store and retrieve information. Sessions are stored on the server side, while cookies are stored on the client side. By using sessions or cookies, you can easily pass data between scripts without the need to constantly send data through URLs or forms.

// Script 1: Set data in session
session_start();
$_SESSION['data'] = 'Hello, World!';

// Script 2: Get data from session
session_start();
if(isset($_SESSION['data'])){
    $data = $_SESSION['data'];
    echo $data;
} else {
    echo 'Data not found.';
}
