Re: Store array as Session Variable

Thanks Chris,

    I am able to see the contents of the $company_name array. The next part involves storing this as a session variable.

I am trying to link this page to another search page using the <a href=\"full-profile.php?name=".$row['company']. "\">--Link--</a>

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { "<TR BGCOLOR=$bgcolor>

     <TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$row[company]</font></TD>
      <TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, > sans-serif\">$row[name_1]</font></TD>
       <TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$row[phone_1]</font></TD>
	<TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$row[city]</font></TD>
	<TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$row[url]</font></TD>
	<TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$row[email_1]</font></TD>
       <TD align=\"center\"><font color=\"#333333\" size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"><a href=\"full-profile.php?name=".$row['company']."\">--Link--</a></font></TD>	</TR>";

$company_name[] = $row['company'];

     // try to register the variable

$_SESSION['link'] = $company_name;

}

What would be the best way to register the array $company_name as a session var and access it on the following page. $_SESSION['link'] = $company_name; does not seem to work since it gives NULL when i try to echo $_SESSION['link']; Thanks in advance --Pushpinder On Monday, July 28, 2003, at 03:43 PM, Chris Shiflett wrote:

I see now. I think you might find this a bit simpler (if I understand correctly): $company_name = array(); while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {

     $company_name[] = $row['company'];

} Also, at this point, you should probably examine the contents of $company_name before bothering with the session stuff. You may be having trouble with your query or something that is totally unrelated to sessions. Try John's suggestion of print_r() by doing something like this: echo '<pre>'; print_r($company_name); echo '</pre>'; Hope that helps.
