Javascript cannot read PHP. What you will have to do is to have your script make a separate request to a CodeIgniter controller.

Javascript:

$.get("export/set_session/" + export_type, function (result) {
    console.log(result);
})

PHP (application/controllers/Export.php):

<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Export extends CI_Controller {

    public function set_session($export_type)
    {
        $this->session->set_userdata('export_type', $export_type);
        echo 'Session set!';
        return;
    }
}

if your above javascript code lies in the view file as inline javascript inside a script tag then it is should be fine but, if this code is inside in a different javascript file then it will not work.
