The fact that the second time through the loop is outputting the second letter of each name looks like $first_name is bound to $_SESSION['first_name'] and $last_name is bound to $_SESSION['last_name'].

tedd,
could you please in foreach loop (on your website) add one echo line:
foreach( $_SESSION['user_id'] as $index = $value )
{
echo '- '.$index.': '.$value.'br';
$last_name = $_SESSION['last_name'][$index];
$first_name = $_SESSION['first_name'][$index];
echo(p$index $last_name $first_name/p);
}
thanks

Well, I would have to say it is a configuration issue on your server.
Here is the results for my test with your code. Works fine.
http://www.cmsws.com/examples/php/testscripts/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/002.php
With RG off, it works as expected. But, with RG on it gives the results he
was seeing.
that explains my earlier post on the matter:
in this case.. what's happened is:
$_SESSION['first_name'] is a reference to a variable $first (or whatever
is in your for loop)
$_SESSION['last_name'] is a reference to a variable $last (or whatever
is in your for loop)
when you've set $last and $first to string's in the for loop it's passed
the variable by reference back to $_SESSION['first_name'] and
$_SESSION['last_name'] as strings;
when it hit's the second iteration on the for loop it now has strings to
deal with so uses the $key (holding integer 1 at this stage) as a string
offset thus giving you the second character (offset [1]) of the string
variables $last/$first. now set to 'cable'/'diane' thus giving you the
'a'/'i'. when it does pass three there is no offset [2] so gives you
nothing.
*phew*
reproduce code!
?php
$userids = array('6156','1234','8867');
$first = array('Diane','Big','Joe');
$last = array('Cable','Ron','Dirt');
function save_to_session( ) {
global $userids , $first , $last;
$_SESSION['user_id'] = $userids;
$_SESSION['first_name'] = $first;
$_SESSION['last_name']= $last;
}
save_to_session( );
print_r( $_SESSION );
$num_users = count($_SESSION['user_id']);
for ($i = 0; $i $num_users; $i++) {
$first = $_SESSION['first_name'][$i];
$last = $_SESSION['last_name'][$i];
echo $last, $first\n;
}
?
lol to think ti was just register globals - thats why i don't use globals!
ps: tedd; you could have got to the bottom of this earlier by having
error reporting set to include notices :)
