PHP Session Variable In JavaScript
Question by user1345650
How could I input php in this so when it has a correct password it stores the information as a cookie and then allow the deletion to it too.
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<!--hide
var password;
var pass1="password";
password=prompt('Please enter your password to view this page!',' ');
if (password==pass1){
alert('Password Correct! Click OK to enter!');}
else
{
window.location="//Some Location//";
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>

If its simple enough (As per the title)
var varname = '<?php echo $_SESSION["variable_name"]; ?>';
But you have to seriously consider your logic. You are checking for authentication on javascript, which is going to be dumbest move in a web application.
The password is totally exposed, and any one can view them or turn off the javascript as a whole, then your whole site becomes vulnerable.
My suggestion is an AJAX request to a PHP page which separately checks and verifies the password and then returns message to the Javascript.
