Re: [PHP] Store array as Session Variable

[Pushpinder Singh Garcha]

Thanks Chris,

    I am able to see the contents of the $company_name array. The next  
part involves storing this as a session variable.

I am trying to link this page to another search page using the  <a  
href=\"full-profile.php?name=".$row['company']. "\">--Link--</a>

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
"<TR BGCOLOR=$bgcolor>
     <TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\"  
face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,  
sans-serif\">$row[company]</font></TD>
      <TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\"  
face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, > sans-serif\">$row[name_1]</font></TD>
       <TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\"  
face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica,  
sans-serif\">$row[phone_1]</font></TD>
	<TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana,  
Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$row[city]</font></TD>
	<TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana,  
Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$row[url]</font></TD>
	<TD align=\"left\"><font color=\"#666666\" size=\"1\" face=\"Verdana,  
Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\">$row[email_1]</font></TD>
       <TD align=\"center\"><font color=\"#333333\" size=\"1\"  
face=\"Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif\"><a  
href=\"full-profile.php?name=".$row['company']."\">--Link--</a></ 
font></TD>	</TR>";

$company_name[] = $row['company'];
     // try to register the variable
        $_SESSION['link'] = $company_name;
}


  What would be the best way to register the array $company_name as a  
session var and access it on the following page. $_SESSION['link'] =  
$company_name;
does not seem to work since it gives NULL when i try to echo  
$_SESSION['link'];

Thanks in advance

I see now. I think you might find this a bit simpler (if I understand
correctly):
$company_name = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
     $company_name[] = $row['company'];
}
Also, at this point, you should probably examine the contents of  
$company_name
before bothering with the session stuff. You may be having trouble  
with your
query or something that is totally unrelated to sessions. Try John's  
suggestion
of print_r() by doing something like this:

echo '<pre>';
print_r($company_name);
echo '</pre>';
Hope that helps.

Chris
