Re: SESSION array problems

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.

ehh? i think everybody's looking too hard at this.. [tested - works] <?php $_SESSION['user_id'][] = '6156'; $_SESSION['first_name'][] = 'Diane';

 $_SESSION['last_name'][]    = 'Cable';

$_SESSION['user_id'][] = '1234'; $_SESSION['first_name'][] = 'Big';

 $_SESSION['last_name'][]    = 'Ron';

$_SESSION['user_id'][] = '8867'; $_SESSION['first_name'][] = 'Joe';

 $_SESSION['last_name'][]    = 'Dirt';

print_r( $_SESSION ); foreach( $_SESSION['user_id'] as $index => $value ) { $last_name = $_SESSION['last_name'][$index]; $first_name = $_SESSION['first_name'][$index]; echo $last_name . ',' . $first_name .
