[PHP] Need Help With SESSIONS and ARRAYS

2002-11-05 Thread @ Darwin
Hello,

In an attempt to override the political anger in this mailing list I will
tell you that I have already searched through documentations on how to solve
the problem I'm having, to the extent of my skills in searching.

Ok, now to the problem. I have an array submitted by a form, such as
$item['name'], $item['desc'], $item['price'], etc, and I want to register
only individual items of the array in a session, while still preserving the
array structure -- i.e. while not breaking the array into separate
variables.

It says nothing in the docs, and I am not in front of a box running PHP at
this particular time to test it, but would it make sense to do something
like:

session_register(item['name'], item['price']);

and not have to include the $item['desc'] in the sessions? Sometimes, in my
application, I do not want to include the $item['desc']. I want to keep the
session alive throughout the script and add more individual array items to
it as well, such as say $item['height'], $item['width'], etc, while still
having the choice to exclude some of the array items from being registered
in the $item session.

I'm not sure if I made any sense here, but if someone can attempt to answer
this, I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks in advance.

So far as I know the session_register() function accepts only one input.
That could be your array if you wanted.  It would be the same thing as doing
this:

$myarray = array('name' = '', 'price' = '', 'desc' = '');
$_SESSION['myarray'] = $myarray;

Set and/or Access with:
$_SESSION['myarray']['name'];
$_SESSION['myarray']['price'];
$_SESSION['myarray']['desc'];
