  • Are you trying to set the local session storage in the client and access if from a php backend? – Andrew May 11 '21 at 04:16
  • yes, I just want to use session storage for a while since Im redirecting to another page and get the value to save it on database by retrieving it using php – Rowell Esguerra May 11 '21 at 04:19

    `sessionStorage` in JavaScript saves/retrieves data on the "browser" -client side-, `$_SESSION` in PHP saves/retrieves data on the "server" -server side-, if you need to pass data between the browser and the server you have to send the data in a **http request**. – Accountant م May 11 '21 at 04:20

    `1`JS code with sessionStorage -> `2` use Ajax to send data to php file -> `3`using $_POST or $GET you can access sessionStorage value in php – Niklesh Raut May 11 '21 at 04:26
