if the object name is sessionStorage than it doesnt mean that it is storing values to server's session — Nishant Solanki

sessionStorage and PHP $_SESSION are completely unrelated. The first one lives in the browser (client-side) and the second on the server (server-side). They can't interact directly with each other whatsoever. w3schools.com/html/html5_webstorage.asp — Jeremy Thille

In your index.html file create an ajax request and send it to any php file and in that php file set your session, Then in login.php file you can get you session easily.

javascript session( Local storage ) and php session is both different things . you can not get local storeage value using PHP.

sessionStorage(localStorage) is not create session . it save value in browser.

if you want to use this stored value to using in PHP then use ajax. get value from browser local storage and pass to PHP using ajax request
