global var vs session vs something else maybe? [message #169840]

Hello,

I'm running a query in initialFile.php which then displays some
information on the page. Later, the user has the option of clicking on
a load button, which loads a map to display this information on a
Google map.

initialFile.php has a query (that I need sometime later) and this page
has a button which runs a javascript function in loadMap.js which
makes an AJAX call to another file ajaxFile.php (where I need the
query so I can run it again).
I don't want the user to be able to see the query through cookies or
anything unsafe for the site.

My question is the following, is there a way to create a global
variable in initialFile.php and then access it in ajaxFile.php ? If
so, how would I do it? I have tried and failed using several options.
Is it better to just use a session to pass that query?
Would you have any better ways of doing this?

Thank you so much!
