What are the recommended methods for ensuring session persistence when navigating between static HTML content and PHP content on separate servers?

When navigating between static HTML content and PHP content on separate servers, session persistence can be ensured by passing the session ID between the servers using cookies or URL parameters. This allows the PHP server to maintain the session state even when the user switches between the two types of content. 

// Ensure session persistence when navigating between static HTML and PHP content on separate servers

// Start the session
session_start();

// Set the session ID in a cookie
setcookie('PHPSESSID', session_id(), 0, '/', 'example.com');

// Pass the session ID in URL parameters when navigating to PHP content on the other server
<a href="http://other-server.com/page.php?PHPSESSID=<?php echo session_id(); ?>">Link to PHP content</a>
