I was struggling with the same problem and stumbled upon this page. Another solution I came up with would be this :

In your html, echo the session variable (mine here is $_SESSION['origin']) to any element of your choosing : <p id="sessionOrigin"><?=$_SESSION['origin'];?></p>

In your js, using jQuery you can access it like so : $("#sessionOrigin").text();

EDIT: or even better, put it in a hidden input

<input type="hidden" name="theOrigin" value="<?=$_SESSION['origin'];?>"></input>
