How to access session variable through JavaScript

Question

I have a

C++

$_SESSION['nome'];

with some content, I need to assign that value to a JS variable. In "bad terms" that's it:

C++

var jogador =  <?php'$_SESSION['nome']; ?>;

Of course this not work because the client-server-side situation, so I'm wondering, how can I solve my problem? I really cant do the opposite (use JS inside PHP) so I appreciate any help.

I'm thinking writing that session on a hidden text field then use JS to get the value from that text box, but not an elegant solution at all.

Regards.

Solution 1

Instead of storing the variable in session use encrypted cookies. The cookies can be readable at client side.

That was my "second alternative". I just becoming curious about another way, you guys always remember a tricky solution :)

Thanks Maxdd. If you don't think ajax is tricky then you can have server side code which read that session variable, then that code can be accessed through ajax from javascript. Is it ok for an alternative?
