reading $_SESSION array on another page

[mescottus]

Greetings,
On one page I do the following:
session_start();
....more code....
//make big dates array to hold all the record and countdown info
$DatesArray=array("days2"=>$diff,
"month"=>$monthArray,
"day"=>$dayArray,
"name"=>$name4sort,
"type"=>$type4sort,
"pix"=>$pixArray,
"lgpix"=>$lgpixArray);

and I print it out to a table like so

print "<tr>";
print "<td align='center'><input type='checkbox' value='$i' name='userDate[]'></td>";
print "<td align='center'> {$DatesArray["days2"][$i]}</td>";
print "<td align='center'>{$DatesArray["month"][$i]} {$DatesArray["day"][$i]}";
print "<br>{$DatesArray["type"][$i]}</td>";
print "<td align='center'>{$DatesArray["name"][$i]} </td>";
print "<td align='center'><img src= images/{$DatesArray["pix"][$i]}>";
print "</td></tr>";
}

....more code....

$_SESSION['DatesArray']= $DatesArray;

The question becomes -- how do I print something from the array on a subsequent page?

like so
session_start();
...code...
for ($i=0; $i<$countd; $i++) {
echo $userDate[$i];
$r=$userDate[$i];
echo $r;
print "<tr>";
print "<td align='center'> {$_SESSION['DatesArray']["days2"][$r]}</td>";

many thanks,

Hi.

You were close.

After you have started the session in the next page, just refer to the session var as if it were local. Then loop through the array and print the values. i.e.

session_start();

foreach($DatesArray as $mainarr)
{
foreach($mainarr as $arrdata)
{
echo $arrdata."<br>";
}
}
?>

Hope this helps

oops!

missed the opening delimiter, sorry!

<?
session_start();

foreach($DatesArray as $mainarr)
{
foreach($mainarr as $arrdata)
{
echo $arrdata."<br>";
}
}
?>
