In what ways can the session ID be effectively passed between pages to ensure seamless user authentication in PHP applications?

To ensure seamless user authentication in PHP applications, the session ID can be effectively passed between pages by using session cookies. By setting the session.cookie_httponly parameter to true, the session ID will only be accessible through HTTP cookies, making it more secure. Additionally, using session_start() at the beginning of each page will ensure that the session ID is carried over between pages. 

// Start the session
session_start();

// Set session cookie parameters for security
session_set_cookie_params([
    'httponly' => true,
    'samesite' => 'Strict'
]);

// Other PHP code for the page
