how to reuse selenium session in PHP?

Question

I have problem to reuse selenium session object in 2 function of my code. how can i do that? first function called and it's show the result. then second function called from html post method. how can run selenium in second function with first function session? thanks

$webdriver = new WebDriver("localhost", "4444");
$webdriver->connect("firefox");
$webdriver->get("http://AAA.AAA");
//here with some method i store picture of captcha to show 
echo '<form  method="post" action="process.php">
<table class="table">
    <tr>
        <td>Enter value of picture
            <img src="thumb.jpeg">
        </td>
        <td>
            <input type="text" name="captcha" dir="ltr">
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td colspan="2">
            <button class="submit">Send</button>
        </td>
    </tr>
</table>
</form>';

And process.php it's like this ( second function )

$webdriver->findElementBy("id","username")->sendKeys("XXX");
$webdriver->findElementBy("id","password")->sendKeys("YYYY");
$webdriver->findElementBy("id","captcha")->sendKeys($_POST['captcha']);    
$webdriver->findElementBy("id","submit")->click();

but $webdriver in second function is not defined, and it must have same session id with $webdriver in first function How Can I Do That?

If you can get the session id before clicking Submit button, jQuery or similar can append a hidden element to the form, value of which could be the session ID. Then on process.php check value of the POST var value. — Adam T
