How to set seesion variables

[wafasn]

Hi everyone,

I need help about this:

I have a page where I display info about projects from a database. I display id and title, the description is too long to be displayed on the same page so I decided to pass the description variables trough a session array to another page when the user clicks on a particular title.
I tried to use a session array for every title, but when the user clicks on a title to display its description, he gets the description for the last project dispalyed on the page.
Any idea guys!

Thanks,

sounds like you keep overwriting the same index in the SESSION array, that's why it always shows the last record. post the code.

here is my code:

session_start();
foreach ($result as $i)
{
$id =$i['prID'];
$title =$i['prTitle'];
$desc =$i['prDescription'];

            // save all this variables in a session array 
$_SESSION['id']=$id;
$_SESSION['title']=$title;
            $_SESSION['desc']=$desc;

?>

<tr>
<td>
<a target='_blank' href="description.php"><?=$title?></a>
</td>
</tr>
<?
}
?>

the code for "description.php"

session_start();

<? echo $SESSION['id']; ?>
<br>
<? echo $SESSION['title'];?>
<br>
<? echo $_SESSION['desc'];?>

<?
session_destroy();
?>

i assume that $result is an associative array with all of the db records from your query.

session_start(); 

foreach ($result as $value)
{
	$_SESSION[$value['prID']] = $value;	
	echo '<a target="_blank" href="description.php?prID=' . $value['prID'] . '">' . $value['title'] . '</a><br>';
}

and in "description.php"

session_start(); 

echo 
$_SESSION[$_GET['prID']]['prID'] . '<br>'
$_SESSION[$_GET['prID']]['title'] . '<br>'
$_SESSION[$_GET['prID']]['desc'];

It works with some modifications.
