I have just sent you a code. Essentially, what I am attempting to achieve is to regenerate the session ID to prevent session attacks and session hijacking. I accomplish this by using session regeneration. However, I encounter an issue when using CRSF tokens. Specifically, when I send a request to my controller without loading the page, it returns as invalid. This occurs because the CRSF token updates after the session ID is regenerated, but the input field does not get updated accordingly.
I am seeking guidance on how to handle this situation. One approach I considered is updating the session ID by sending the CRSF token through the controller back to the rejection point and updating the input field. However, placing this process inside the valid condition for the CRSF token does not seem to work. Can you provide guidance on how to address this issue?

this is my sesssion.php code

session_set_cookie_params([
'lifetime' => 3600, // Session timeout in seconds (adjust as needed)
'path' => '/',
'domain' => 'localhost',
'secure' => true, // Send cookies only over HTTPS
'httponly' => true // Prevent JavaScript access to cookies
]);
// Start a secure session after setting cookie parameters
session_start();
// Regenerate the session ID to prevent session fixation
self::regenerateSessionId();
