I understand the recursion part, but i dont understand why this fixes it: $quoteString = implode(",",$_SESSION['quotes'][$key]); $_SESSION['quotes'][$key] = explode(",",$quoteString); That is essentially just reading the values out, and sticking them back in. Jason Barnett wrote:
If i dont do that, when i do a print_r($_SESSION['quotes'][$key]) i get
errors that say RECURSION and its almost like the arrays are making new
If you have a SESSION['quotes'] array... and one of the elements in the array references the same SESSION['quotes'] array... then you are going to have recursion. It's not exactly an error, but it *is* a recursive array that never ends because it keeps pointing to itself. Hopefully this makes sense?
