session array problem

[beatsie]

I have a problem with using an array as a session variable.

i have register globals OFF now that its the default

with register globals on i did this

session_register("myvar");

to add values to this i wrote

$myvar[] = "$bla";

but now i declare session variables like so.

$_SESSION['myvar'];

i can assign one value to it $_SESSION['myvar'] = "26";

but not make it an array

e.g $_SESSION['myvar[]'] = "26";

I cant think of a way around it , am i being stupid?? maybe
so basically how would i make this an array add values to it and then display them??

any help would be great, tia

I don't think you can modify a session variable once it has been set (to prevent spoofing). Check the manual.

Try this.

$array_stuff=array("key1"=>"stuff","key_2"=>"more stuff");

session_start();
session_register("array_stuff");

Now you have a session registered array.

To modify key_2

$tmp_array=$array_stuff; //put session variable in local variable
session_unregister("array_stuff");//kill session to change value
unset($array_stuff);

$tmp_array['key_2']="new stuff";//set new value

$array_stuff=$tmp_array;//switch to old name if needed
session_register("array_stuff");//re-register

print_r($array_stuff); //display

There may be a more elegant solution, but I'm pretty sure that will work.
