View php session variables

Question

Not sure if this belongs here or at webapps... please move if appropriate.

I don\'t even know if such a thing is possible, but is there an extension or add-on for ei

Answer 1

No. Session variables are stored on the server. The only thing that would be visible in Firefox is the ID of the session, stored in the session cookie (e.g. PHP_SESS_ID=randomgarbage).

You'd have to explicitly write a script that would dump out the session variables, something as simple as:

dumpsession.php:

<pre>
<?php
    var_dump($_SESSION);
