First, you don't "SEND" session variable. If you have a session started then they exist for all pages in the session - so they aren't sent: you just use them.

For AJAX, you can send any values you wish when executing the XMLHttpRequest send() function. Since your using jQUery, you'll need to use their method. I prefer straight javaScript.

How yous send values, which are essentially part of the URL, depends on how you invoke the send - they're retrieved on the other side in the $_GET or $_POST arrays, or $_REQUEST, which access both.

Here for "real" AJAX: AJAX Introduction[^]

You can find their jScript tutorial, as well, if you need it.
