Is it necessary to include both the session ID in the link and as an input field in the form?

It is not necessary to include both the session ID in the link and as an input field in the form. The session ID is typically stored in a session cookie and automatically included in subsequent requests, so there is no need to pass it explicitly in both the link and the form. It is recommended to just include the session ID in the link or form, depending on the specific use case. 

// Example of including the session ID in a link
session_start();
$session_id = session_id();
echo "<a href='example.php?sid=$session_id'>Link</a>";

// Example of including the session ID in a form
session_start();
$session_id = session_id();
echo "<form action='process.php' method='post'>";
echo "<input type='hidden' name='sid' value='$session_id'>";
echo "<input type='submit' value='Submit'>";
echo "</form>";
