$.ajax({
   url: '/update-session.php',
   data: {"x":e.pageX,"y":e.pageY},
   type: 'post',
   success:function(data){
       // if you care. 
   }
});

update-session.php:

$_SESSION['pageX'] = $_POST['x'];
$_SESSION['pageY'] = $_POST['y'];

No they couldn't. The session keys are declared in the PHP file.

Dude, look at the code. JavaScript is not setting the session keys.

Make an AJAX request to a PHP page that saves them in the session.
