Last 5 Searches Storing Array in Session

[sheriff_bob]

I've been working on this all night and I'm loosing my mind.

 

I'm trying to figure out how to store 5 sequential searches with a session, with each new search knocking the old search off the array.

 

Thank you for your help.

Look at array_shift

to illustrate prozente's advice, it'd probably look something like this:

<?php
        $sql = "
                SELECT
                        *
                FROM
                        your_table
                WHERE
                        id = '42'
        ";

        function session_search($var){
                if(array_key_exists($_SESSION['searches'][4]){
                        array_shift($_SESSION['searches']);
                        $_SESSION['searches'][] = $yourSearchInfo);
                }else{  $_SESSION['searches'][] = $yourSearchInfo; }
        }

        session_search($sql);
?>

Thanks for the help guys. I"m currently not storing any of this information in a database.

 

I created this bit of code here, but the problem is it only cycles the newest entry into the position. Instead of leaving the other values.

 

So it does

 

1. Hello

2.

3.

4.

 

1.

2.Goodbye

3.

4.

 

Instead of

1. Hello

2. Goodbye

3.

4.

 

session_start();

if(!isset($_SESSION['x'])){
$_SESSION[0]=$_POST['id'];
$_SESSION['x']=1;
}
elseif($_SESSION['x']==1){
$_SESSION[1]=$_POST['id'];
$_SESSION['x']=2;
}
elseif($_SESSION['x']==2){
$_SESSION[2]=$_POST['id'];
$_SESSION['x']=3;

}elseif($_SESSION['x']==3){
$_SESSION[3]=$_POST['id'];
unset($_SESSION['x']);
}

why don't you use my code?

I'm sorry I'm just a little confused by it.

 

But let me give it a try
