title: Get a PHP $_SESSION variable from Jquery?
body: <p>I'm not yet a JSON/AJAX master so I don't know how to do this.</p>
  
  <p>I need a $_SESSION['name'] PHP variable to work with in my jQuery stuff and I don't know how to access it... consider:</p>
  
  <pre><code>// the 'who is typing' shindig
      $.ajax(
      {
          url: "whos_typing.html",
          cache: false,
          success: function(whos)
          {   
                  // here I need to access $_SESSION['name'] and do stuff with it
  
              $("#soandso").html(whos); //Insert who's typing into the #soandso       
          }
          });
  </code></pre>
