will php handle session automatically if cookies are disabled?

Question

If cookies are disabled then session works in following two ways:

Form hidden input tag as session id
session id is appended in url

But will the above two ways works automatically i.e will PHP handle it automatically? or we will have to manually set them? If PHP does it automatically then how ?

If you can have it run client side you should check local storage — Carlos Alves Jorge, Aug 26 '17 at 06:15

No, you don't have to set this manually PHP handle this for you
It uses the cookies if available, or else it switch to send it via a url, provided that session.use_trans_sid is enabled

ini_set("session.use_trans_sid", 1);

Notice that URL based session management has additional security risks
