如何使用Javascript和Jquery Vector Map设置会话

Question

Im using a jQuery Vector Map Library with name jqvmap . Anyone knows a way to Set a Session in Javascript instead of setting a Cookie?:

My code:

function getCountryName(code) {
    var path = JQVMap.maps["world_en"].paths[code];
    return path && path.name;
}
var fromCountryCode = getCookie(cookieName) || "";
worldMap = jQuery('#vmap').vectorMap({
    map: "world_en",
    backgroundColor: '#FFCC28',
    borderColor: '#818181',
    scaleColors: ['#222222', '#ffffff'],
    borderOpacity: 0.25,
    color: '#2F3132',
    hoverOpacity: 0.8,
    multiSelectRegion: true,
    selectedColor: '#FBB24B',
    selectedRegions: '{{$flag}}',
    //selectedRegions: [fromCountryCode],
    enableZoom: true,
    showTooltip: true,
    onRegionClick: function(e, code, name) {
        code == "AE" ||
        code == "AF" ||
        code == "AG" ||
        code == "AL" ||
        code == "AM" ||
        code == "AO" ||
        code == "AR" ||
        code == "AT" ||
        code == "AU" ||
        etc...
        code == "ZW"
        $("#message").text("Your Country: " + name);
        setCookie(cookieName, code, 600); // minutes
        window.location.replace("https://example.com/");
    }
});

My idea is to Set a Session in Javascript instead of setting a Cookie by replacing the following part of code:

setCookie(cookieName, code, 600);

replaced by

session(['name' => $code]);

I read SO and it seems that sessions cannot be altered from client side, but probably someone knows a workaround using AJAX. brgds.

Well, TBH I haven't fully understand the whole workflow of Your application, but if You need to create a PHP cookie-less session , You will need to pass back & forth the session id by yourself. This can be done using ajax/php like below. Create two PHP pages:

set_session.php:

<?php 
  ini_set("session.use_cookies", 0);
  ini_set("session.use_only_cookies", 0);
  session_start();

  if(isset($_POST['code'])){
    $code = filter_var($_POST['code'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
  }

  $_SESSION['name'] = $code;
  $_SESSION['value'] = 'https://example.com';

  header('Content-Type: application/json');
  $response = [];
  $response['sessionid'] = session_id();
  echo json_encode($response);
?>

get_session.php:

<?php 
  ini_set("session.use_cookies", 0);
  ini_set("session.use_only_cookies", 0);

  if(isset($_POST['sessionid'])){
    $sessionid = filter_var($_POST['sessionid'], FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING);
  }

  session_id($sessionid);
  session_start();
  header('Content-Type: application/json');
  $response = [];
  $response['name'] = $_SESSION['name'];
  $response['value'] = $_SESSION['value'];
  echo json_encode($response);
?>

JavaScript:

var mySessionId = "";

function setSession (code){
   $.ajax({url: 'set_session.php'
    ,data: {code: code}
    ,type: "post"            
    ,dataType: "json"
    ,success: function (result) {
      mySessionId = result.sessionid;
    }
  });
}

function getSession (){
  $.ajax({url: 'get_session.php'
    ,data: {sessionid: mySessionId}
    ,type: "post"              
    ,dataType: "json"
    ,success: function (result) {
      // result will be: {name: AZ, value: https://example.com}
    }
  });
}

Fisrt, You should get a session id into mySessionId :

setSession('AZ');

then, You can reuse this session id later from Your html page to recall the session variables stored server-side:

getSession();

Moreover, depending from Your needs, You can also use an http header to redirect the user to the new link from directly inside the get_session.php page.

Hope this helps.
