How can I assign session id of php in a jQuery file? - php

Question

I have a main file
index.php
in which I include four other files like
header_get_started.php,
content_main.php,
right_sec_home.php,
footer.php.
Here is my code
"index.php"
<script src="js/ajax.js"></script>
<?php include_once('header_getstarted.php'); ?>
<?php include_once('content_main.php'); ?>
<?php include_once('right_sect_home.php'); ?>
<?php include_once('footer.php'); ?>
"header_getstarted.php"
<span class="select_input">
<?php
$sqlCmd = "some query";
echo combo('cmb_command','custom-class1 custom-class2','cmd_name','cmd_id','0',$sqlCmd,'sendpostmtu()' $width="style='width:250px;cursor:pointer;'")
?>
<input type="submit" name="" class="sub_bg" value="" onclick="get_request_by_command($('#cmb_command').val());">
</span>
In header_get_started.php
When select any command from select box, I want to assign it's id to $_SESSION['id'].
Onclick of selection box I have an ajax request which can refresh the main content (content_main.php). Also I want that selected id in another page in right_sec_home.php to refresh it's content.
How can I assign the php session id in JS file for 2nd page?
My JS file is
function get_request_by_command (commandId) {
var cmdTitle=$('#cmb_command :selected').text();
if(cmdTitle=="") {
cmdTitle='ABC';
}
$("#main_wrap").hide();
if(cmdTitle=='--Select--'){
$("#cmdTitle").html("");
}else{
$("#cmdTitle").html(cmdTitle);
}
$("#cmbs_cmd").val(commandId);
document.getElementById('request_list').innerHTML='<img src="images/loader.gif" />';
var strURL="request_by_command_tbl.php?id="+commandId;
var req = getXMLHTTP();
if (req) {
req.onreadystatechange = function() {
if (req.readyState == 4) {
// only if "OK"
if (req.status == 200) {
var ret = req.responseText;
$("#requestTitle").html("<span id='cmdTitle'>"+cmdTitle+"</span>);
$('#request_list').html('');
$('#request_list').html(ret);
$('#main').show();
$("#searchDiv").show();
} else {
alert("There was a problem while using XMLHTTP:\n" + req.statusText);
}
}
}
req.open("GET", strURL, true);
req.send(null);
}
}
With using this jQuery function, I have created an ajax request, and send the id to the "request_by_command_tbl.php" file.
In "request_by_command_tbl.php" file i assigned,
$_SESSION['id'] = $_REQUEST['id'];
Also I want this $_SESSION['id'] in right_sec_home.php at same instant.
So is their any way to assign php $_SESSION['id'] in the jQuery script file before sending ajax request.
My other files
"content_main.php"
<div id="request_list"> </div>
<div> </div>
<div id="add_space"></div>
Right section home file in which i need session id
"right_sec_home.php"
<?php
function getRequestByMonth($month, $year, $id){
$que ="SELECT distinct(MS.date) FROM commands AS MC , ranks AS MR ,steady_tours AS MST, preferred_tours AS MPT, registration AS MMS where date_format(rm_date, '%c-%Y') = '".$month."-".$year."'
AND MMS.cmd_id ='".$_SESSION['id']."'
order by MMS.date";
$res = mysql_query($que);
while($rows[]=mysql_fetch_array($res)){}
foreach ($rows as $res):
if($res['date'] == "") continue;
$dt = date("Y-n-j", strtotime($res['date']));
$return[getDateB($dt)] = $res['date'];
endforeach;
return $return;
}
I hope that this is clear enough.
Any ideas?
Please help.

Answer 1

there is no way for you to access the session information with jquery ..
explanation
sessions are files stored on the server --> where is java script is only a client side language ..
there is always a work around .. but i guess you should explain more about what exactly you want to achieve

Answer 2

<?php $sessionId = session_id(); ?>
<input id="session_id" name="session_id" type="hidden" value="<?php echo $sessionId; ?>" />
Get the value of the hidden field using jquery.

Answer 3

You can use some hidden fields or script variables inside the php file.
example :
<script>
var id = <?php echo $_SESSION['id']; ?>;
</script>
varible id can be accessible using the javascript or jquery
