How can the session ID be passed through the URL instead of using cookies in PHP?

To pass the session ID through the URL instead of using cookies in PHP, you can append the session ID to all links and forms in your application. This can be achieved by setting the session.use_trans_sid directive to true in the php.ini file. However, this method is not recommended due to security concerns as session IDs in URLs can be easily exposed and manipulated.

<?php
ini_set('session.use_trans_sid', true);
session_start();

// Append session ID to all links and forms
echo '<a href="page.php?' . SID . '">Link</a>';
?>
