note 25423 added to function.session-register

The syntax involved in using $_SESSION when passing arrays between a validation page and a display page (in my case an array of errors) , is not something which is immediately obvious. If you do the following in,say, validation.php: if (!session_is_registered("formErrs")) session_register ("formErrs"); $formErrs=array(); $formErrs ["formName"] = "Error: Name cannot be blank"; you will then need to use the following format to retrieve the values in the main page. $name="formName"; if (isset($_SESSION["formErrs"]["$name"])) { echo "We've found " . $_SESSION ["formErrs"] ["$name"]) } or alternately to just dump the array foreach ($_SESSION["formErrs"] as $var=>$errText){ Echo "Debug: $var : $errText<br>\n"; } -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.session-register.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+25423 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+25423 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+25423
