Question

Question by user2102316

Im new to ajax/jquery. so is there an easy way that when i click a cell with in the table, the value of it will be stored in a session variable.

thanks in advance

Answer 1

It can be as simple as this:

The following snippet send the value to a page where session variable can be set

$.post('sessionsetter.php', { 'fieldname' : 'sessionvariablename', 'value' : 'sessionvalue'});

Now ‘sessionsetter.php’ can be something like this:

session_start();
$_SESSION[$_POST['fieldname']] = $_POST['value'];

Now, you can send as many variables you want to set as SESSION variable.
