How can PHP sessions be managed efficiently when accessing files from different domains?

When accessing files from different domains, PHP sessions may not be shared due to cross-domain security restrictions. To efficiently manage PHP sessions in this scenario, you can use session cookies with a shared domain or implement session handling using a database or a centralized session storage mechanism. 

// Start the session
session_start();

// Set session cookie parameters for a shared domain
session_set_cookie_params(0, '/', '.shared-domain.com');

// Use a centralized session storage mechanism like a database
// Example: Storing session data in a database
ini_set('session.save_handler', 'user');
ini_set('session.save_path', 'mysql:host=localhost;dbname=sessions');

// Continue using session variables as needed
$_SESSION['user_id'] = 123;
