Getting This warning...

Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array


$_SESSION['quantity'][$ind] = $qty;


$ind is an Integer type variable
and $qty is also an integer type variable..

and what i am missing, .. ?

You sure it's an integer? var_dump() it. Or just explicitly (int) cast it.

I'm not even sure that's the issue, it sounds more like something has screwed with $_SESSION itself... does assigning anything else to the session in this page work?

[Ashif]

well i have some how over come that problem, its now assigning.. the quantity the right value, however i have explicity typcast the $qty to int...

NOW

$_SESSION['itemstray'][0] = "";
$_SESSION['quantity'][0] = "";
$_SESSION['unit'][0] = "";
$_SESSION['size'][0] = "";

using

print_r($_SESSION);


it shows that itemstray and quantity as arrays
while unit and size as single variable
y ?
NOW, when i changed the SESSION variable names to

$_SESSION['itemstray'][0] = "";
$_SESSION['quantity'][0] = "";
$_SESSION['itemunit'][0] = "";
$_SESSION['psize'][0] = "";

unit to 'itemunit'
size to 'psize'
then using

print_r($_SESSION);

it showed that the itemunit, and psize are also arrays..
whats the difference ?, are unit, size any reserved words ?

I think you need to show us some more code. There's clearly something wrong with the logic somewhere ;)

Hi,

maybe you have register_globals turned ON and use vars with the names "unit" and "size". If this is the case you overwrite your session with the same names.
