It is possible to create a server-side session using javascript for any server-side programming language like PHP, C#, Python etc. by just calling server side function using ajax calls as shown below.
To do that, first create a server side application file and write the session variables which you want to set, then in client side javascript just pass the data which you need to set as a session to the server side application function using Ajax call as shown in below examples
First, we will take an Example of C#/Asp.net.
Javascript Ajax call
<script>
var obj={
sessiontoset1:"data1",
sessiontoset2:"data2"
}
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "pagename.aspx/SessionFunctionName",
data: JSON.stringify(objs),
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8 ",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data) {
alert("session set");
}
});
</script>
C# Code to set the session at server side
[WebMethod]
public static string SessionFunctionName(string sessiontoset1,string sessiontoset2)
{
Session["sessiontoset1"]=sessiontoset1;
Session["sessiontoset2"]=sessiontoset2;
//if above session setting doesn't work, set as shown below
//HttpContext.Current.Session("sessiontoset1")=sessiontoset1;
//HttpContext.Current.Session("sessiontoset1")=sessiontoset1;
}
For PHP
javascript for PHP
var obj={
sessiontoset1:"data1",
sessiontoset2:"data2"
}
$.ajax({
type:"POST",
url:"sessionfunction.php",
data: obj,
success: function (data) {
alert("Session Set");
}
});
Create a file called sessionsfunction.php
<?php
if(isset($_POST['sessiontoset1'])){
$_SESSION['sessiontoset1']=$_POST['sessiontoset1'];
$_SESSION['sessiontoset2']=$_POST['sessiontoset2'];
}
?>
