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.

Why don't you echo what you are trying to access for each loop for ($i = 0; $i < $num_users; $i++)

    {
    print_r($_SESSION['last_name'][$i]);
    print_r($_SESSION['first_name'][$i]);
    }

Does the above return to you what you would expect? An alternate to what you are doing here would be this. foreach ( $_SESSION['user_id'] AS $i=>$id)

    {
    print_r($id);
    print_r($_SESSION['last_name'][$i]);
    print_r($_SESSION['first_name'][$i]);
    }

How about this? Jim Lucas
