cannot use [] on string?!

[map200uk]

hi,

 

im having problems with part of my code-which did previously work

 

function addtoPlaylist()
{

$play=array();
$play=$_GET['path'];


//echo $_GET['path'];
$_SESSION['song'][]=$play;
}

anyone have any ideas how to fix? thanks!

Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in /opt/lampp/htdocs/beta/phpdb/playlist.php on line 32

ok theirs few things wrong with that!

is $_SESSION['song'] an array ?

 

theirs no start_session();

 

 

$play=array();

$play=$_GET['path'];

 

should be

 

$play=array();

$play[]=$_GET['path'];

session_start is at the top of the page, i only included the function, sorry

 

$_SESSION['song'] is an array yep

 

meant to hold all the paths of the songs

 

but well its not working

[MadTechie]

do a var_dump($_SESSION['song']);

[map200uk]

array(1) { [0]=>  string(51) "http://148.197.34.121/mp3/07-maroon_5-cant_stop.ogg" }

 

 

so it adds it there, but each time it gets overwritten with the next selection, i did have it working right (not quie sure what o changed)

 

so it adds each path as the next element in the song array

 

 

[MadTechie]

try

function addtoPlaylist()

{

array_push($_SESSION['song'],$_GET['path']);

}

 

[map200uk]

still not working-any ideas what could be causingthis?

[map200uk]

now its working again-using

function addtoPlaylist()

{

 

$play=array();

$play=$_GET['path'];

 

 

//echo $_GET['path'];

$_SESSION['song'][]=$play;

}

 

 

i dont see what the difference is?!
