Re: Session Problems with php and jquery

HTML is stateless. Your form-processing PHP script is starting an anonymous session that ceases to exist the moment it's finished. Your html page needs to become a php page, which will be your html page with this prepended ...

<?php
$session_name = 'myscriptname' . time();
session_name( $session_name );
session_start();
?>

Pass that session name in the AJAX call to the PHP script that processes the form, eg as a $_GET param named 'sess', and start that script with ...

<?php
if( !isset( $_GET['sess'] )) exit( "Session configuration error." );
$session_name = $_GET['sess'];
session_name( $session_name );
session_start();
...

Now anything the form-processing script adds to $_SESSION[] will be visible to the calling page.
