Adding values to an existing Session array - El Forum - 11-03-2007
[eluser]BrandonDurham[/eluser]
I am creating a session array called "entry_data" and filling it with a few values, like this:
Code:
$entry_data = array(
'album_title' => $this->input->post('album_title'),
'release_date' => $this->input->post('release_date')
);
$this->db_session->set_userdata('entry_data', $entry_data);How do I go about later adding more values to the $entry_data session array without overwriting the data that's already there?
Thanks!

I don't know if there is better way, but you can retrieve 'entry_data' array from session, alter it, and store it again in session (with the same name).

Brandon:
Hey there. Array() is typically used to create a new array. Thereafter, you can use:
$entry_data['newkey'] = "newdata";
This will add new data without removing the rest of your data. If you would like to add data to the end of the array, without having a specific key, you can use:
$entry_data[] = "newdata";
I would highly suggest reading:
