Question

I have a simple web page that has 3 tabs in my main content area. Once a user clicks on a particular tab, I use jquery and ajax to fetch some data from server and (of course) without reloading everything I change some div below those three tabs.

I use $.post to get data from the server and there are 3 different php files on a server that I call (one for each tab) and get data from.

Is it possible to start a php session when a user clicks on the first tab and save some $_SESSION variables and then use them when a user clicks on the second or third tab so that I know what user clicked on the second or third tab?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes, the sessions are shared across all php scripts. So whatever you save in the first tab will be readable on 2nd and 3rd tab. Keep in mind that

Edit:
Thing to keep in mind here is that the domain should remain the same for all scripts to be able to see the session.
