Create/Update Php Session with Javascript

ANTISPAM_garycnew_ANTISPAM

I am trying to create/update a Php Session with Javascript to confirm
if users have Javascript enabled.

My first thought was to create a Javascript that writes a script tag
referencing a php page, which sets a $_SESSION variable.

javascript.js:

<script type="text/javascript">

</script>

javascript.php:

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['javascript'] = 'enabled';
?>

I can see that both the javascript.js and javascipt.php files are
executing from the web logs, but when I try to query the
$_SESSION['javascript'] variable from another page $_SESSION is empty.

Is it possible to create/update a Php Session with Javascript?

Might it be done using URLEncoded URL, Javascript XMLHttpRequest, or
something of the like?

Thank you for your assitance.

Respectfully,
Gary

Try doing something like this in javascript.php to see if you have the
right session id:

echo "alert('$session_id');";

Here's the solution:

/includes/meta.php

<?php session_start(); if (!$_SESSION['javascript']) { ?><script
type="text/javascript" src="/js/javascript.php"></script><?php } ?>
/js/javascript.php

<?php
session_start();

if (($_COOKIE['PHPSESSID']) || ($_GET['PHPSESSID'])) { ?>

<?php } ?>
/includes/javascript.php

<?php
session_id($_GET['PHPSESSID']);
session_start();

$_SESSION['javascript'] = 'enabled';
?>

The meta.php script is a global include file that initiates a request
to js/javascript.php if the $_SESSION['javascript'] variable is not
found.

The js/javascript.php script then executes a javascript initiated
request to the includes/javascript.php script using the PHPSESSID
variable and updates the user's php session $_GET['PHPSESSID'] with
$_SESSION['javascript'] = 'enabled';

It does have a short coming in that the first loaded page will not show
that $_SESSION['javascript'] is set. Only pages loaded after the
initial page will be usefull.

Hope this helps someone else.

Respectfully,
Gary
