A PHP4 Session Variable Question

[Kanataguy179]

I have what seems to me to be a simple question regarding PHP4's session handling.

Is it possible to place objects or arrays within a session variable or is a php developer limited to only using scalar values within session variables?

As always thank you to the people who post there answers.

well upon reading the session page in php.net
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php)
it didn't say anything about not able to place objects in sessions. I don't think arrays would be a problem.

There are also some user notes where they explain some uses with objects in a session.
check those out.

$MyArray=array('1', '2', 'red', 'yellow', 'fish');
$_SESSION['test']=$MyArray;
echo $_SESSION['test'][3]." ".$_SESSION['test'][4];
//echoes "yellow fish".....

I use session objects all the time.

You have to define the class before the session is started though, the object doesn't retain any of it's methods on it's own.
