Hi everyone

I am having problems keeping values of arrays. I want a form that when a user types a value and hits submit button that value is read into an array then displayed on the page. Every time the user types a value, all values show.

in my submit test I have

$title[$roomcount] = $_POST['title'];
$roomcount++;

each time the user hits submit the $roomcount variable increases. The first element ref in the array is 0, then 1 ..etc

I have tried all sorts to keep the values stored in $title but it only remembers the last input entered. I know I would have to probably use $_SESSION['title'] and read the array back into $title but have problems.
I have tried
$_SESSION['title'] = serialize($title);
then
$title = unserialize($_SESSION['title']);

but that doesnt remember more than 1 entry the rest are empty.

I could try a foreach statment loop but I dont know the syntax for accessing arrays with $_SESSION['title']

is it $_SESSION['title[0]']
this seams to act as though title[0] is actually the name for the variable rather then have the array ref at the end.

I have also tried $_SESSION['title'][0] and $_SESSION[$title[]] but I think I just got the server laughing at me

Thanks

I think I confused everyone. I guess it shows how confused I am.

heres it put simply;

how can you write $title which is an array into a $_SESSION array. Then how do you access the individual elements of that array. ie if you can write $title[0] & $title[14] to access the first and fourteenth element how do you access them in the $_SESSION array?

Hi I got my own session functions. I had the same problem so I made it. It works flawlessly.

I can give it to You.

The following does work (verified just now) -

PHP Code:

<?php

session_start();

// The array arr_a contains some values to store in the session variable

$arr_a = array("somevalue_a", "somevalue_b", "somevalue_c");



// Store arr_a into session variable savearr

$_SESSION['savearr'] = $arr_a;



// Get the session variable savearr into an array

$arr_b = $_SESSION['savearr'];



// Make use of the array elements...

echo "$arr_b[0]<br>";

echo "$arr_b[1]<br>";

echo "$arr_b[2]<br>";

?>

Here is an update - This syntax works -

PHP Code:

$_SESSION['savearr'][0];

$_SESSION['savearr'][1];

$_SESSION['savearr'][2];
