is working fine.
Thank you ,

Re: [PHP-DB] Don't mean to be repetitive - Session Variables
Have you assigned the values in the $_SESSION['l_industry'] array to those
specific local variables, $l_industry['0'], $l_industry['1']... ?

I may have spoken too soon. Having one minor problem
with getting an array (from a multiple select) to
print out. Anyone see anything wrong here :
Here is registering session array:
if ( empty( $_SESSION['l_industry'] ) ) {
$_SESSION['l_industry']=array();
}
if ( is_array( $_REQUEST['LurkerIndustry'] ) ) {
$_SESSION['l_industry'] = array_unique(
array_merge( $_SESSION['l_industry'],
$_REQUEST['LurkerIndustry'] )
);
}
Here is my call:
echo $l_industry['0']."";
echo $l_industry['1']."";
echo $l_industry['2']."";
echo $l_industry['3']."";
echo $l_industry['4']."";
echo $l_industry['5']."";
Thank you,

Jason, thank you for all the help today! It's all working now. However, warning: I maybe back when I try to slam it all into the database.

Re: [PHP-DB] Don't mean to be repetitive - Session Variables
I think I found the correct way. By registering the session variable in the "next" page is how they take. Form Page 1 - collect user input Form Page 2 - $_SESSION['name'] = $POST['myane']; This sound right?

Your right and I agree with you. My perspective is that the example(s) in the manual does not actually address my particular situation. In the manual example it's showing the session variable set to the value of count. If that value of count changes, it's updated in the variable. > The 'something' in your particular case is the data > from the form on Page1. Eg $_SESSION['variable'] = $_POST['myforminput']; Yes, I've tried this, it didn't work so I'm doing something wrong. I'm not sure if A) in the field area do i keep the value set as "value=""> or is that where my mistake is happening ? MyName is the value not the variable so I think this is the right way to register the variable: $_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['myname']; Maybe I leave the value blank and rely on the field name ?

I don't control it. On a shared server.

I think my repeats on reading has maxed out. I'll

The examples don't seem to apply. They are applying a
set value to the session variable: $count =1;
if (!session_is_registered('count')) {
session_register('count');
$count = 1;
} else {
$count++;
}

Alright , I guess the light isn't shining through
here. 'Something' is setting the variable to something
the user can change with the form input ?
