How does PHP handle session identification through session names in different contexts (e.g., cookies, URLs, POST data)?

PHP can handle session identification through session names by setting the session name using `session_name()` function before starting the session. This allows developers to customize the session name based on their requirements, which can help in preventing session hijacking attacks. By setting the session name explicitly, developers can have more control over how session identification is handled in different contexts such as cookies, URLs, or POST data. 

<?php
// Set the session name to a custom value
session_name("my_custom_session_name");

// Start the session
session_start();
?>
