How Do I pass php Session Variable From Ajax Call

0.00/5 (No votes)

I have a login.php page that validates user login with a Ajax call. When the ajax validation is successful, it sets a session. I want to pass the session variable on to next page as I navigate from the login page.
See jquery code below:

$.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: "ajaxLogin.php",
            data: dataString,
            cache: false,
            beforeSend: function(){ $("#login").val('Connecting...');},
            success: function(data){
            if(data)
            {
            $("body").load(nextPage.php).hide().fadeIn(1500).delay(6000);

The "nextPage.php" should contain the session set on successful validation from the ajaxLogin.php but, it does not.

Please help.
Thanks

Call session_start on every page

Rashid,

Thanks for your input. I know session_start() is the way to preserve session status but, in this case, the variable set in the ajaxLogin page did not pass to the nextPage. All the three pages (calling, called and forward) have session_start() declared.

Thank you
