Array issue

[MacCoilin]

Hello,

I am writing some code for a shopping basket type effect (report generation filter). I have been able to add items to the session array ($cart).

The problem I am having is that when I try to display the session array ($cart)I get an unwanted "item" called "array". This always appears second last from the array listing...ie..

item1
item2
....
..
..
array
item_last

//code to add "item" to end of array
$cart[]=$name;
//code to display array ($cart)
foreach($cart as $value){echo "$value<br>\n";}

any ideas where I am going wrong?

Thanks.

Well, the simple answer is that the 2nd to last item in the cart is an array instead of a variable. Without seeing the code, however, I couldn't say why.

If often find var_dump or print_r to be of some help when checking the contents of array at various times.....

HTH <?> 🙂

Thanks for the advice. Following from that I realised that I had declared $_SESSION at the top of the script. When I removed it, the script worked as planned.

You're welcome, and, well, we've all done something like that 😉 !!

Glad it's working for you now!! 🆒
