I need to re-address this.. tedd your original code works fine over
here; as does the code I sent you, and the code jay submitted first..

do us a favour, copy and paste exactly what I just handed through and
run it; are the results correct?

To all:

The code provided by nathan works for me as well. However, the problem
is not easily explained, but I can demonstrate it -- try this:

http://www.webbytedd.com/zzz/index.php

* A complete listing of the code follows the demo.

When the code is first loaded, the session variables are defined and
populated. Proof of this is shown in the top left corner of the page,
which reports:

Cable Diane
Ron Big
Dirt Joe

Now click the "Continue" button and you will be presented with the next
step which shows a list of the SESSION variables in both the top left
corner AND immediately below "Step 2". Everything is righteous to there.

However, the next portion of the code is the foreach loop where the
first SESSION pair is output correctly, but the rest aren't.

This is followed by another listing of the SESSION variables and this
time is shows that they have completely disappeared.

Okay gang -- what's up with that?

Cut and paste the code and see for yourself.

Cheers,

tedd


Well, I would have to say it is a configuration issue on your server.

Here is the results for my test with your code.  Works fine.

http://www.cmsws.com/examples/php/testscripts/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/002.php



With RG off, it works as expected.  But, with RG on it gives the results he
was seeing.



that explains my earlier post on the matter:

in this case.. what's happened is:
$_SESSION['first_name'] is a reference to a variable $first (or whatever 
is in your for loop)
$_SESSION['last_name'] is a reference to a variable $last (or whatever 
is in your for loop)


when you've set $last and $first to string's in the for loop it's passed 
the variable by reference back to $_SESSION['first_name'] and 
$_SESSION['last_name'] as strings;


when it hit's the second iteration on the for loop it now has strings to 
deal with so uses the $key (holding integer 1 at this stage) as a string 
offset thus giving you the second character (offset [1]) of the string 
variables $last/$first. now set to 'cable'/'diane' thus giving you the 
'a'/'i'. when it does pass three there is no offset [2] so gives you 
nothing.


*phew*

reproduce code!



lol to think ti was just register globals - thats why i don't use globals!

ps: tedd; you could have got to the bottom of this earlier by having 
error reporting set to include notices :)

tedd,

could you please in foreach loop (on your website) add one echo line:
  
  foreach( $_SESSION['user_id'] as $index => $value )
  {
echo '-> '.$index.': '.$value.'';
$last_name = $_SESSION['last_name'][$index];
$first_name = $_SESSION['first_name'][$index];
echo("$index $last_name $first_name");
  }


thanks

you?


Jay


Try these options (separately):

1) Change your first and third entries (so Joe Dirt is 0 and Cable Diane 
is 2).  See if your 2nd output is now '1 o i'.


2) Change your storage variables ($first_name and $last_name) to 
something other than the key values of your session array (ex:  $fname 
and $lname).  See if that works.

tedd,

Is there any chance that session variables are getting auto
registered? The fact that the second time through the loop is
outputting the second letter of each name looks like $first_name is
bound to $_SESSION['first_name'] and $last_name is bound to
$_SESSION['last_name'].
