How can PHP developers ensure that their login scripts work for users with cookie-blocking settings?

PHP developers can ensure their login scripts work for users with cookie-blocking settings by implementing a session-based approach for managing user authentication. This involves storing session data on the server side rather than relying on cookies. By using session variables to track user login status, developers can ensure that users with cookie-blocking settings can still access restricted areas of the website.

<?php
session_start();

// Check if user is logged in
if(isset($_SESSION['logged_in']) && $_SESSION['logged_in'] === true) {
    // User is logged in, allow access to restricted areas
} else {
    // User is not logged in, redirect to login page
    header("Location: login.php");
    exit();
}
?>
