Manipulating PHP's session cookie with JavaScript: Possible?

Question posted by: John Drako (Guest) on November 11th, 2005 06:25 PM

Short Question:

is there a Javascript library that can decode and encode data into the
format used by PHP sessions stored in the session cookie?

The longer version:

I'm creating a fairly complex interactive application (wizard like)
using PHP and storing the data from various steps in a session.

I would like to be able to mirror the functionality in javascript on the
client side so that the interaction between the browser and the server
is minimal if possible. The javascript version would be to make the
application faster (user-perception-wise) in between steps and at the
end hands the data to the server.

I googled for few hours and failed to find the answer.

So, is there a Javascript library that would allow me to read and
manipulate the data in the session cookie on the client's side?

Or at least is there some documentation how the data is encoded in the
session by PHP?
