How to update a session registered array?

[macosxguy]

I'm trying to use this function to update a session registered array, but rather than redirecting to the next page at the end of the function, the array is not updated and it simply reloads the same form.

function processStepThree($overview,$industry,$curr_client_profile,$targ_client_profile,$goals) {
	session_start();
	$_SESSION['merge_arrays'] = array(
		'overview' => $overview,
		'industry' => $industry,
		'curr_client_profile' => $curr_client_profile,
		'targ_client_profile' => $targ_client_profile,
		'goals' => $goals
	);
	$_SESSION['form_array'] = array__merge($_SESSION['form_array'], $merge_arrays);
	$_SESSION['step_three'] = "complete";
	header("Location: /step_four/");
};

Am I going about this the wrong way?

After a while the problem popped out at me like a sore thumb...I had declared the "merge_arrays" array as a session variable but wasn't referring to it as such in the array_merge() function. The following works splendidly:

$merge_arrays = array(
		'overview' => $overview,
		'industry' => $industry,
		'curr_client_profile' => $curr_client_profile,
		'targ_client_profile' => $targ_client_profile,
		'goals' => $goals
	);
	$_SESSION['form_array'] = array_merge($_SESSION['form_array'], $merge_arrays);

I think the problem is with that line :

 $_SESSION['form_array'] = array__merge($_SESSION['form_array'], $merge_arrays);

// Should be :

 $_SESSION['form_array'] = array_merge($_SESSION['form_array'], $_SESSION['merge_arrays']);

Two errors :

1. array__merge()... two underscores ( _ ) instead of one... must be array_merge()

2. $merge_arrays is an undefined variable and it must be $_SESSION['merge_arrays']

Does this help ?

Thanks for replying 🙂

My brain glazed over and it took me the longest time to discover those problems...you were 4 minutes too late 😉
