Someone recently pointed out that the asset files were also sending the session Cookie header, not necessary. I would like to access a few arrays/variables stored in $_SESSION in some of the asset files though without having the Cookie header be sent to the client for those asset files.
In the asset files (e.g. like JavaScript) I simply include the session.php file. Since the client initializes the HTTP request to the asset files this is not simply passing $_SESSION as a parameter.
How do I initialize and access $_SESSION though not have it's associated Cookie header sent for asset files?
I can obviously determine how to combine substr with $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] to determine if the request is for an asset (e.g. *.js) and all asset files have proper file extensions.
if (!headers_sent()) {header_remove('set-cookie');}
