nitestarz Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I have a form that contains a list (Interests) where you can make multiple selections. This information, like the rest of the form, is saved in a session. When the form is processed, the information is sent and the user goes to a thank you page. Everything displays correctly except the list - it just displays like: Interest1, Interest2, Interest3. How can I get the Interests list to display in an unordered list? Thanks!

kenrbnsn Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 The way your code is written, it looks like you have register_globals turned on. This is very insecure. As to your question, change <?php $_SESSION['Interests'] = implode(',',$_POST['Interests']); ?> to <?php $_SESSION['Interests'] = '<ul><li>' . implode('</li><li>',$_POST['Interests']) . '</li></ul>; ?> and you should get an unordered list. Ken Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/231279-session-arrays/#findComment-1190406 Share on other sites More sharing options...
