rated 0 times [ 146] [ 1] / answers: 1 / hits: 36369 / 9 Years ago, wed, december 30, 2015, 12:00:00

I have a javascript code like this :

<script type=text/javascript>



    $('#editRole').on('show.bs.modal', function (e) {  



        $roleID =  $(e.relatedTarget).attr('data-id');

        // Here I want to set this $roleID in session may be like this :

        Session['roleID'] = $roleID;                      

    });    



</script>

Then I want to get that $roleID in an other place using php code, may be like this :

<?php $roleID = Session::get('roleID'); //do something ....  ?>

Thanks

You can't set a server session variable directly from JS.

To do that you can make an AJAX call to a PHP script passing the value you want to set, and set it server side:

$('#editRole').on('show.bs.modal', function (e) {  



    $roleID =  $(e.relatedTarget).attr('data-id');



    //ajax call 

    $.ajax({

         url: set_session.php,

         data: { role: $roleID }

    });                             

});

set_session.php

//preliminary code



Session::put('roleID', $request->input('role') );
