note 74772 modified in function.session-write-close by nlopess

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. --was-- 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.
