How can PHP developers effectively manage and store tokens and cookies for API access in their scripts?

To effectively manage and store tokens and cookies for API access in PHP scripts, developers can use sessions to securely store and manage tokens and cookies. By utilizing PHP's session management functions, developers can easily store tokens and cookies in a secure way and access them when making API requests.

// Start a session
session_start();

// Store token in session variable
$_SESSION['token'] = 'your_token_here';

// Store cookie
setcookie('cookie_name', 'cookie_value', time() + 3600, '/');

// Retrieve token from session
$token = $_SESSION['token'];

// Retrieve cookie value
$cookieValue = $_COOKIE['cookie_name'];
