Re: Sessions vs passing variables

Right, I understand I should be able to access them. That's the whole problem. They're not there. I can do one of two things and they magically become available: 1. Don't start the session. 2. Use single variables, not arrays. #2, however, would create a problem in that I intend to set it up that a person can have more than one item in their shopping cart. This hoses that, as I was planning on having the product ids passed as hidden fields so as not to have to rely on the session functions to keep items in the shopping cart.
