Why on earth would you want to serialize an array you're adding to the session? That's just a terrible waste of good machine cycles.

<sarcasm>terrible, very. too many hits to the server and this little faux pas will really bring the CPU to its knees</sarcasm> Sandy, anything you stick in $_SESSION is automatically serialized by php when the session is closed (or the request is complete - i.e. during script shutdown) .. which means you don't have to do it!

Zend Certified Engineer

Really?? I think I just lost all faith in that "qualification".

state provided 'educational' services are nothing more than highly sophisticated indoctrination systems ... Zend is upfront about the reasons for having a 'qualification' system but is Leeds Met? Or lets look at that a totally different way ... Leeds Met is a very prejudiced, dogmatic operation with a higgly judgemental cultural background that is incapable of stimulating or encouraging open-minded, critical thinking. I know this because you work there and you one comment about losing faith tells me everything there is to know about Leeds Met and all the people who work/study there; just like you are able to judge the Zend Exam based on one slight mistake from one particular person who advertises herself as having passed said exam.... over&out
