Refresh PHP SESSION var after AJAX request

Question

I\'ve index.php and callSession04.php. When index.php does an AJAX request PHP SESSION variables are set on callSession04.php

Answer 1

The session state is on the server, your code updates it on the server correctly (I assume). What you experience is the representation of the server state (index.php) is not updated on the client (browser) after the Ajax call.

You have multiple options to fix that:

• Use the ajax callback to reload the current page (index.php)
• Use the ajax callback to update the current page (DOM manipulation) to reflect the server state

This can not be fixed in the php (server side) alone.
