Session variables are only stored on the server, so they cannot be used to transfer data from the client to the server. I you want to submit data without having the user to reload the page, ajax is the way to go.

i think the ajax is the best solution,

make in your server side (php) sanity before insert to db (like mysql_real_escape_string)

You can use AJAX. Make sure you use a POST request as the text may be too long to be sent by GET (that is, appended to the URL in a query string).

Sessions are not a valid option. Sessions are files that exist on the server. In order to put the contents of a textarea into a session, you first have to get it to the server, so it's not a solution to the problem of getting the text to the server.
