Code Help

Hello everybody,
I know they are two different programing languages, but is it possible, lets say, translate PHP to JavaScript?
I’ve got this php code and i would do the same in JS.
Anybody understand me…?

<?php include("sesion.php"); ?>
Bienvenido:
<?php echo $_SESSION["usuario"]; ?>
<br /><br />
Estas en una p&aacute;gina segura con sesiones en PHP
<br /><br />
<a href="archivo-protegido2.php">Ir a otra p&aacute;gina segura</a>
<br /><br />
<a href="salir.php">SALIR</a>

Well, you can’t really do that, since PHP is a server-side language incorporated into a frontend language while JavaScript does have a server-side part (NodeJS) and a frontend part, they can’t be used together like PHP.

You kinda can but not directly.

Like @element1010 said as a client-side JavaScript application, you can’t directly use server-side sessions like you can in PHP.

But you can achieve something similar by using AJAX.

PHP is actually pretty similar to JavaScript, with vanilla, browser JavaScript you won’t be able to do any of the server-side actions PHP can, but with NodeJS you could.

Your example could easily be translated to JavaScript, it would look something like this:

Bienvenido:
<script>
	document.write(window.sessionStorage.getItem("usuario"));
	// although document.write is deprecated and I would recommend something more like this:
	const span = document.createElement("span");
	span.textContent = window.sessionStorage.getItem("usuario");
	document.body.append(span); // append is the same as appendChild
</script>
