PHP session array

Question

how can i store this array into a session and use sessions to move the elements inside the array up/down/left/right diagonally

$board = array(A B C D E F G H         


        

Answer 1

You store it in a session like

<?php
session_start();
$board=array('whatever');
$session['board']=$board;

As for manipulation, it is just a normal array. You can work with it like any other array.

Answer 2

Call session_start and afterwards store your variables in $_SESSION -- they will be available throughout the session:

session_start();
$_SESSION['board'] = array( ... );

Moving elements is just a matter of assigning one value to another, for example:

$_SESSION['board'][$new_i][$new_j] = $_SESSION['board'][$old_i][$old_j];
$_SESSION['board'][$old_i][$old_j] = ...;

Answer 3

$_SESSION['myArray'] = $board;

and you can access any element using $_SESSION['myArray'][i][j];

Answer 4

Yes. you can store and update an array in session. use like this :

session_start();
$_SESSION['youarray'] =$board;

and now do updates in $_SESSION['youarray'] array according to your requirement that will be like normal array. but stored in session.
