note 81171 rejected from function.explode by ezyang

Note Submitter: ghepting at neteffexstudios dot com ---- Anyone have an idea why using the explode() function and using a $_SESSION['variable'] as the string to turn into an array would leave the original $_SESSION['variable'] as an array itself? This doesn't happen with non session variables... I've tested it both ways and it behaves quite differently. here is a code example I ran into this with: // Split the date of birth into year, month, & day $dob = explode('-',$_SESSION['dob']); // THIS MESSES UP THE SESSION VARIABLE... // So I'm imploding it back after I'm done with the $dob array if( is_array($_SESSION['dob']) ) { $dob = implode('-',$_SESSION['dob']); }
