note 74772 added to function.session-write-close

I was having trouble with session data being lost / not carrying over to other pages when using header("Location: ..."), and session_write_close() was not helping. I was writing to $_SESSION by doing: $_SESSION = $myArray; I eventually found that doing it this way helped: foreach($myArray as $k => $v) { $_SESSION[$k] = $v; } The problem was strange; I've assigned arrays to $_SESSION countless times and never had trouble with it. In fact, I was doing it in many places elsewhere in the same application, and I never ran into any problems. I spent hours figuring out what was happening. Hope this saves time for somebody out there. ---- Server IP: 69.39.81.135 Probable Submitter: 72.164.243.26 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-write-close.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74772 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74772/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74772/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74772/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74772/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74772/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74772/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74772 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74772 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
