    can i assign value returned from javascript function to php session variable

    i am stuck in the problem, where after user logs in successfuly, i take him to the login thanks page. now on that page i need to retain the login name. I am not sure how to this.

    i have written a query string which passes the SID from this page.

    <a href="loginthan ks.php?<?php echo htmlspecialchar s(SID); ?>" >

    now how can i send the login name to next page.

    Also i want to store this value of login name in some session variable, so that i can display this on everypage user navigates. my problem can also be resolved if i can assign the value returned from javascript function to the a session variable on next page, something like this:

    this php code is written in loginthanks.php file
    <?php
    session_start() ;
    $_SESSION['user_logged'] = true;
    $_SESSION[loginName] = echo '<script type="text/javascript" getLoginName(); ';
    ?>
    where this function returns the login name.
    if this code is syntactically correct then i can this value of session variable?

    please help!!

    many thanks in advance.

      Here are possible answers to your query (I suppose I did undertand your query properly)

      1. How can I add login name to $_SESSION : First through your javascript function (which you should define in <head> tag ) use the code
      function assignLoginName ()
      {

      location.href = Add the login name as a query parameter either ? or & depending the other query parameters you pass. This should redirect you to the page that you display after login say succesfull_logi n.php

      }

      in php
      if (isset($_GET['login_name']))
      save it in session.
      I hope this does solve your query.

      I suppose this will also solve your second query, once you have the login_name in session you can pass it to just any page you want. Work it out and reply back

          i am not sure about how suggested code would work. i have already called a function on click of submit button, after user enters user id & password.
          now how would i call another function on its click.

          i am pasting the complete code here.

          <a href="loginthan ks.php?<?php echo htmlspecialchar s(SID);?>" > <input type="button" name="txt3" id="verifyLogin " value="log in" onclick = "return loginVerificati on()" /></a>

          in loginthanks.php i have added the code:

          <?php
          session_start() ;
          $_SESSION['user_logged'] = true;
          $_SESSION[loginName] = echo '<script type="text/javascript" getLoginName(); ';
          ?>

          where getLoginName(), returns the loginname entered by user.
