Can i pass a session data from a aspx page to a php page?

I need to add in a survey form to an old asp.net application. I tried using creating another asp.net application but the server doesn't allow.

the survey form will get the user's particulars from a database, after everything is filled up and validation is done, a submit will create an excel spreadsheet, send a email to the user and update the database.

However the web server is not running the page of the new application, error says that a virtual directory is not created for the application and i do not have the access to the IIS manager, i only have the ftp access.

I am thinking of using php to do the job instead. My plan is to pass the session("userid") of the apsx page and call a response.redirect(survey.php). From there the php must know which user had done the survey, so i need to pass a session variable from aspx to php so that i only who is doing the survey.

Is this method possible? If so, how can i pass that session variable?

You could store the session information in the database, to be shared, which would avoid showing the values in the querystring (unless you encrypted it). ASP.Net has a SQLServer mode for session which you might be able to use by querying the DB from PHP. Otherwise just a custom table with the usual expiry date, user id etc. could work.

This seems like a hacky solution. If you are modifying the ASPX to do the response.Redirect, surely you and put your logic there instead of creating a PHP solution alongside?

If you really want to do this (which I don't recommend), just pass it in the QueryString.

response.redirect("survey.php?userid=" + Session["UserId"]).
