Set Session variable using javascript in PHP

Question

Is it possible to set PHP session variables using Javascript?

Answer 1

I solved this question using Ajax. What I do is make an ajax call to a PHP page where the value that passes will be saved in session.

The example that I am going to show you, what I do is that when you change the value of the number of items to show in a datatable, that value is saved in session.

$('#table-campus').on( 'length.dt', function ( e, settings, len ) {
    $.ajax ({
       data:        {"numElems": len},
       url:        '../../Utiles/GuardarNumElems.php',
       type:        'post'
    }); 
});

And the GuardarNumElems.php is as following:
