AngularJS ngRoute and PHP $_SESSION variables

I think i might see where your problem is. You try to access php session in your single page angularJS HTML templates am i right? like:

<div ng-repeat="n in <?php $_SESSION['someSessionArray'] ?>">

That is not how it works. Your $_SESSION will never be available in your templates.What you can do, is use an ajax request for your login authentication and have that request give you a session id. Then use that session id when starting your session in further ajax requests (as already mentioned).

Then, when you want to store something to the php session, access the data via ajax request and php service.

a VERY, VERY, VERY, simple Example:inside getFromSession.php

session_start($_GET['session_id']);
$key = $_GET['key']
echo json_encode($_SESSION[$key]);

inside storeToSession.php

session_start($_GET['session_id']);
$key = $_GET['key'];
$value = $_GET['value'];
$_SESSION[$key] = $value;

inside your login.php

$user = yourAuthMechanism($_GET['username'],$_GET['password']);
if($user) {
  session_start();
  echo json_decode(array('status' => 'success','sid' => session_id()));
}
else { ... error handling

inside anywhere in your angular where you need to access session data:

$promise = $http.get('pathtoyourphp/getFromSession.php?key=foo');
$http.set('pathtoyourphp/getFromSession.php?key=bar&value=4');
// now use promise to acces the data you got from your service

I don't think you're looking for angularJS.I think you're looking for something more like this.

index.php:

<html>
    <header>
       <title>Login</title>
    </header>
    <body>
       <form method="POST" action="login.php">
           <input type="username" name="username" placeholder="username" />
           <input type="password" name="password" placeholder="password" />
           <input type="submit" value="Login" />
       </form>
    </body>
</html>

<?php
   session_start();
   if(empty($_POST)) {
      die("You don't have permission to be here.");
   } elseif(empty($_POST['username']) or empty($_POST['password'])) {
      die("All fields are required.");
   }

   $username = "admin";
   $password = "password";

   if($_POST['password'] == $password && $_POST['username'] == $username) {
       $_SESSION['loggedIn'] == "true";
       header("Location: show.php");
   } else {
       die("Invalid login");
   }
?>

show.php

 <?php
    if($_SESSION['loggedIn'] == "true") {
        echo "You are logged in";
    } else {
        die("You don't have permission to be here.");
    }
 ?>
