I'm attempting to set session variables in jQuery, and then access them on the next page using PHP.

I'm using the jQuery Session Plugin found here:   https://github.com/AlexChittock/JQuery-Session-Plugin

PAGE 1:

1. [code]
2. $.session.set('username', 'UsErNaMe');
3. [/code]
   
   

PAGE 2 (PHP):  Outputs "NO USERNAME SET"

2. <?php
3. session_start();
4. if(isset($_SESSION['username'])){
5.        echo "USER NAME IS " . $_SESSION['username'];
6. }else{
7.        echo("NO USERNAME SET!!!!");
8. }
9. ?>

PAGE 2 (JAVASCRIPT):  Outputs "UsErNaMe"

1. alert("SESSION DATA: " + $.session.get('username'));

So basically, my problem here is that this jquery plugin is setting the session data for javascript, but it's not accessible via PHP.  Is there a way to solve this?
