Passing variables with session

[chrima]

Hi all,
Currently i have a form (cart_1.php). When submitted it goes to another page called cart_2.php. This page also has a form.
On cart_2.php i have the following code:

<?
session_start();
$cart_id = $_SESSION['cart_id'];

$ship_first_name = $_POST['array'][0];
$ship_last_name = $_POST['array'][1];
$ship_address_1 = $_POST['array'][2];
$ship_address_2 = $_POST['array'][3];
$ship_city = $_POST['array'][4];
$ship_state = $_POST['array'][5];
$ship_post_code = $_POST['array'][6];
$ship_phone = $_POST['array'][7];
?>

What i want to know is how can i pass the above variables as a seesion array along with the other values from the cart_2.php form.
Also, when all this is passed to cart_3.php how do i retrieve (echo) the session array on this page?

Cheers,
chrima

Hi,

first of all I would rename the POST var array to something else. It should work with the code above but it is always a better idea not to use php reserved words as variable names.

What about putting the complete post array into the session, something like

$SESSION['array'] = $POST['array'];

You can then access that array from cart_3.php with

$_SESSION['array'][0] and so on ...

or if you use e.g. userdata instead of array

$SESSION['userdata'] = $POST['userdata']; and
$_SESSION['userdata'][0]
