problem with array_splice

[TomNL]

Hi,

I have written the script below and it works fine on my local server running PHP 4.3.10. I upload it to my webserver and I get the error below. The webserver is running the same (!) php version.

error:
Warning: array_splice(): The first argument should be an array in /home/twisted/www/shop/delitem.php on line 11

Warning: array_splice(): The first argument should be an array in /home/twisted/www/shop/delitem.php on line 12

line 11 and 12 are the second and third line with array_splice.

I think it has to do with some setting on my webserver but I have no clue. Can anyone hint me into the right direction??

<?php
session_start();
// delete line in cart

$delItem = $_GET['itemno'];
$prize = $_SESSION['prize'][$delItem];

$slice = $_GET['itemno']+1;
$achterkant = -count($_SESSION['item'])+$slice;
array_splice ($_SESSION['item'], ($slice-1),$achterkant);
array_splice ($_SESSION['name'], ($slice-1),$achterkant);
array_splice ($_SESSION['prize'], ($slice-1),$achterkant);

//subscract from total prize
$_SESSION['total'] = ($_SESSION['total']-$prize);

// one less item in cart
$_SESSION['itemNo']--;

header ('Location: ../templates/shop.php');

what does

print_r($_SESSION);

produce?
did you verify that the first parameter in fact is an array?

[TomNL]

print_r($_SESSION) produces:

Array ( [itemNo] => 0 [item] => Array ( [0] => nini001 ) [name] => Ketting 3 [prize] => 6 [total] => 6.5 )

Hmm ok, that answers my question i guess. $_SESSION['name'] contains no array. So both line 11 and 12 can be safely deleted. I tried this and everything works like a charm.

Still, it's strange that my local phpserver didn't see this as a problem and the webserver that I uploaded to does.... ???
