In the context of PHP programming, how can the issue of session variable overwriting in loops be addressed to ensure the correct association between links and session variables for each iteration?

When using session variables in loops, the issue of overwriting can be addressed by appending a unique identifier to the session variable key for each iteration. This ensures that each link is associated with the correct session variable value without being overwritten. 

<?php
session_start();

for ($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {
    $uniqueKey = 'link_' . $i;
    $_SESSION[$uniqueKey] = 'value_' . $i;
    
    echo '<a href="page.php?link=' . $uniqueKey . '">Link ' . $i . '</a><br>';
}
?>
