How can the provided PHP script be improved to enhance session security for an internal area?

The provided PHP script can be improved to enhance session security for an internal area by setting the session cookie parameters to be more secure. This includes setting the 'secure' flag to true to ensure the session cookie is only sent over HTTPS, setting the 'HttpOnly' flag to true to prevent client-side scripts from accessing the cookie, and setting the 'SameSite' attribute to 'Strict' to prevent cross-site request forgery attacks. 

// Start the session
session_start();

// Set session cookie parameters for enhanced security
session_set_cookie_params([
    'lifetime' => 0,
    'path' => '/',
    'domain' => 'yourdomain.com',
    'secure' => true, // Only send cookie over HTTPS
    'httponly' => true, // Prevent client-side scripts from accessing cookie
    'samesite' => 'Strict' // Prevent cross-site request forgery attacks
]);
