Hi gang: Apparently, there's something going on here that I don't understand -- this happens far too often these days. Here's a print_r($_SESSION); of the session arrays I'm using:

     [user_id] => Array
         (
             [0] => 6156
             [1] => 7030
             [2] => 656
         )

     [first_name] => Array
         (
             [0] => Diane
             [1] => Fred
             [2] => Helen
         )

     [last_name] => Array
         (
             [0] => Cable
             [1] => Cago
             [2] => Cahalan

The following is how I tried to access the data contained in the $_SESSION arrays: $num_users = count($_SESSION['user_id']); for ($i = 0; $i < $num_users; $i++)

     {
     $last_name = $_SESSION['last_name'][$i];
     $first_name = $_SESSION['first_name'][$i];
     echo("<p>$last_name, $first_name</p>");
     }

The only thing that came out correct was the first echo. The remaining echos had no values for $first_name or $last_name. What's happening here? Cheers, tedd PS: I'm open to other suggestions as to how to do this.

What do you get if you do a print_r($_SESSION) just before this loop? -Shawn

I get the dump as shown above -- it's all there, I just can't get to it and thus my confusion. Cheers, tedd -- ------- http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
