    Hi,

    I have a variable I would like to put in the $_SESSION array.
    However, I am not accessing this through a PHP script but am instead
    returning this to a javascript function through an AJAX call.  I need
    to set this as part of the session.  Can I either:

    the AJAX call.  Will I be able to call for this on successive pages?
    The page is accessed only through the AJAX call so will the SESSION
    variable be set properly?
    >
    or
    >
    2.)  Is there a way that I can pass the data received back from the
    AJAX call (in a javascript function) into a PHP function in the same
    document to then set it in the session?

    The call is being made through the AJAX call and this cannot be

    Okay, when I read my own question, I think #2 doesn't even make sense
    since PHP is server side and js is client side.  So, can #1 be done
    properly?

    Nevermind. Got it working correctly.

    Thanks!

      Nevermind... I do NOT have it working correctly.... thought I did.

      It appears that setting $_SESSION['var'] in the script that is called
      by AJAX and then trying to retrieve it on another PHP page is not
      working.

      I guess I will have to use JavaScript cookies to accomplish my task
      unless anyone else can lead me any where else.

      Thanks.
