Re: Need Help With SESSIONS and ARRAYS

So far as I know the session_register() function accepts only one input. That could be your array if you wanted. It would be the same thing as doing this: $myarray = array('name' => '', 'price' => '', 'desc' => ''); $_SESSION['myarray'] = $myarray; Set and/or Access with: $_SESSION['myarray']['name']; $_SESSION['myarray']['price']; $_SESSION['myarray']['desc']; -Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: "@ Darwin" <superbus22@attbi.com> To: "Php-General" <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, November 05, 2002 3:05 PM Subject: [PHP] Need Help With SESSIONS and ARRAYS > Hello, > > In an attempt to override the political anger in this mailing list I will > tell you that I have already searched through documentations on how to solve > the problem I'm having, to the extent of my skills in searching. > > Ok, now to the problem.
