php - View and change sessions variables in a browser

Question

Debugging a PHP program, is there any add-on/plug-in for browser which I can view sessions variables (those PHP $_SESSION["foobar"] )?

Best if I can change the value in the variables.

Answer 1

There is no way to manipulate the values stored in sessions from the client side.

That's one of the main reasons you'd use a session over a cookie - YOU control the data. With cookies, the user can manipulate the data.

The only way to access/manipulate session data from the client side would be with an Ajax call or other JavaScript mechanism to call another php script, which would be doing the retrieval/manipulation of the session data via the session_ functions.
