Session handlig via AJAX. Please Help!

I need to create a session variable via ajax. Below are the two files that I’m using.
Both are calling via ajax.

I used this file to create sessions or cookies.
First i try to create sessions or cookies with this script.

[code=php]
<?php
session_start();

$stateIdVal = $_POST[‘stateIdVal’];
$rememberMe = $_POST[‘rememberMe’];

if($rememberMe)
{
$_COOKIE[“searchCriteriaState”] = $stateIdVal;
}
else
$_SESSION[“searchCriteriaState”] = $stateIdVal;

echo “1”;
?>
[/code]

And this to retrieve session variables. (Try to get the session values previously created)

[code=php]
<?php
session_start();

$return_str = “”;

if(isset($_COOKIE[“searchCriteriaState”]))
{
$return_str .= $_COOKIE[“searchCriteriaState”];
}
elseif (isset($_SESSION[“searchCriteriaState”]))
{
$return_str .= $_SESSION[“searchCriteriaState”];
}
else
$return_str .= “null”;
echo $return_str;
?>
[/code]

But it’s not working. I’m hanging on this about days, and bored on this.

Please anyone help!
