How can PHP developers ensure secure session handling without relying on the session ID being displayed in URLs?

PHP developers can ensure secure session handling by storing the session ID in a cookie instead of passing it through URLs. This helps prevent session hijacking and improves security. To implement this, developers can use the session_set_cookie_params() function to set the session cookie parameters. 

// Set session cookie parameters
session_set_cookie_params([
    'lifetime' => 3600,
    'path' => '/',
    'domain' => 'example.com',
    'secure' => true,
    'httponly' => true
]);

// Start the session
session_start();
