I am trying to set and retrieve session variables. For each I have javascript code that runs ajax to call php functions. In my javascript code I want to use the returned session field. Nothing works. Can someone look at my code and tell me what I did wrong. Thanx
MY Ajax code to set the session variable is:
{$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "setsessionvar.php",
data: option,
success: function(){ alert("success")
}
});
Its PHP function is:
function setvar($option) {
session_start();
$_SESSION["temp"]=$option;
}
MY Ajax code to retrieve the session variable is:
{$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "getsessionvar.php",
data: option,
success: function(option){
}
});
It's PHP function is:
function getsessionvar()
{
return .$_SESSION['option'];
}
I made the changes to the php code, however nothing is still working. I have an alert in the success sections of the ajax. Neither alert executes. I am also not sure I am accessing the session variable value in the ajax code. I am including the entire code of my page this time. The set ajax is in the function called foo. The get ajax is in the routine called startup.
