Arrays into session?

[bcode]

This is my problem I am trying to put $thumbArray into a session but I can only get one of the images to go into the session? Then when I am successful how do I grab the images out of the session. Any help would be much appreciated I am running blind not knowledgeable in this.

 

foreach($dataArray as $item_num => $info){

$customer_id = $id;

$item_id = $info['id'];

 

$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id='$item_num'";

$result = mysql_query($sql);

$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

 

$thumbArray = array();//THIS ARRAY RIGHT HERE

$thumbArray['image'] = $thumb = $row['image'];

$title = $row['title'];

$price = $row['price'];

}

$_SESSION['filenames'] = $thumbArray;

 

 

NEXT PAGE retrieving the session

 

foreach($_SESSION['filenames'] as $key=>$value)

    {

    // this is what I have started but I need to grab them individually HOW DO I DO THAT and put them into something like

  <a href="url/something.php?L=filename goes here" >

    }

$thumbArray['image'] = $thumb = $row['image'];

 

This will assign the value in $thumb to $thumbArray['image'] every time through the loop.  In other words, you are storing the value in the same place every time through the loop and each successive time through the loop you are replacing the existing value.

 

If you want to append items onto the end of an array you use empty braces, []:

$arr = array();
$arr[] = 1;
$arr[] = 'larry';
$arr[] = 3.14;
// $arr is an array with: 1, 'larry', 3.14

 

$thumbArray[] = $thumb = $row['image'];
// ~OR~
$thumbArray['image'][] = $thumb = $row['image'];

 

And unless you're using it for something else, and I don't see that you are, the extra $thumb = is not needed.

I tried what you had said but I am printing the Session after that code and it says

[filenames]=>Array([image]=>Array([0]=>whatever.jpg))

It doesnt seem to be outputting both files in the array only one, but this time it has the index # on it

 

foreach($dataArray as $item_num => $info){

        $customer_id = $id;

        $item_id = $info['id'];

     

        $sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE id='$item_num'";

        $result = mysql_query($sql);

        $row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);

       

        $thumbArray = array();//THIS ARRAY RIGHT HERE

        $thumbArray['image'][] = $thumb = $row['image'];

        $title = $row['title'];

        $price = $row['price'];

}

      $_SESSION['filenames'] = $thumbArray;

This line initializes $thumbArray into an empty array.

$thumbArray = array();//THIS ARRAY RIGHT HERE

 

You've placed it inside the loop.  Do you see a problem with that?

thank you!!!! That was dumb of me I put it in there to consolidate the code for the forum Thank you again for pointing that out I would of scratched my head for awhile till i thought of that
