Is it possible to recognize a user without the use of cookies in PHP session management?

Yes, it is possible to recognize a user without the use of cookies in PHP session management by passing the session ID in the URL parameters. This way, the session ID is maintained in the URL and can be used to recognize the user across different pages. 

<?php
session_start();

// Check if session ID is passed in the URL
if(isset($_GET['sid'])){
    session_id($_GET['sid']);
}

// Continue with session management
// For example, set session variables
$_SESSION['user_id'] = 123;

// Retrieve session ID for passing in URLs
$currentSessionID = session_id();

// Output session ID in URLs
echo "<a href='page.php?sid=$currentSessionID'>Link to another page</a>";
?>
