How can PHP developers ensure session continuity without manually passing session IDs?

To ensure session continuity without manually passing session IDs, PHP developers can use session cookies. By setting the session.cookie_httponly option to true in the php.ini file, the session ID will be stored in a cookie that is only accessible via HTTP. This helps prevent session hijacking and ensures that the session ID is automatically passed between requests without the need for manual handling. 

// Enable session cookies with httponly option
ini_set('session.cookie_httponly', 1);

// Start the session
session_start();

// Access session variables
$_SESSION['user_id'] = 123;
