I am trying to create/update a Php Session with Javascript to confirm
if users have Javascript enabled.

My first thought was to create a Javascript that writes a script tag
referencing a php page, which sets a $_SESSION variable.

javascript.js:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--//
document.write('<s'+'cript type="text/javascript"
src="javascript.php"></s'+'cript>');
//-->
</script>

javascript.php:

<?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['javascript'] = 'enabled';
?>

I can see that both the javascript.js and javascipt.php files are
executing from the web logs, but when I try to query the
$_SESSION['javascript'] variable from another page $_SESSION is empty.

Is it possible to create/update a Php Session with Javascript?

Might it be done using URLEncoded URL, Javascript XMLHttpRequest, or
something of the like?

Thank you for your assitance.

Respectfully,


Gary
