Re: [jQuery] Jquery, AJAX, and php session variables

I don't know much about your specific problem, but I thought I'd share how I do AJAXified login. First I have a form with action set to the login page so it will work without javascript. Then I hijack the form with ajaxForm() from the form plugin. I have the ajax return JSON and have a callback

I believe you aren't handling the session correctly, remember, AJAX calls don't automatically attach the session ID to your URL variables, so you have to do it manually (if it's not in the cookie), either by directly attaching to the target url: $.getJSON(target.php?sid=+session id,...,...); or

Thanks to both of you for your responses, I guess I'm still having a hard time wrapping my head around what AJAX is doing with my session vars that make it impossible to use in my existing PHP files. I was under the impression that session vars are just ... around in the browser, so if they are

As a side note, if you (or anyone else, for that matter) are having problems with Tredosoft's MultipleIEs (http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE) and PHP sessions, be sure to upgrade to at least the version that was released on 07/11/2006 (November 11, 2006) as versions before that had issues with

I am indeed not using output buffering. I call session_start as the first thing on every page, before the headers are sent. I also call session_start on my login page, first thing. If I use output buffering, do you think that would fix things? I could call session_start() again as a callback

Question: is session_start() called on the page where this code is run? var loggedin = ?=$_SESSION['loggedin']?; if (loggedin == true) { $(div#login).hide(); $(div#logout).unhide(); } else { $(div#login).unhide(); $(div#logout).hide(); } On

Ah, it's actually not... here's the breakdown of the included files: index.php (sample normal page which has the login box in it) (included at start of index.php) -page_init.php (included at start of page_init.php) -dbconnect.php //connects database -startsession.php //CALLS

If that code is not executed in the same request as code that calls session_start(), then you will have problems (though that doesn't appear to be the case). Try adding a call to session_start() just before that code is run, see if that helps at all. Is there any chance that you could send me
