How can HTTPS encryption be utilized to enhance the security of user sessions in PHP applications?

HTTPS encryption can enhance the security of user sessions in PHP applications by encrypting the data exchanged between the client and the server, preventing unauthorized access or tampering. To utilize HTTPS encryption, you need to ensure that your server is configured to support HTTPS and that your PHP application is set up to use HTTPS URLs for all communication. 

// Force HTTPS redirection in PHP
if ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] != 'on') {
    header('Location: https://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    exit();
}
