[PHP] Multi-D Super Global Array? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

xepherys · 08-11-2006, 04:13 PM

Is the super global array allowed to take multiple dimensions? Currently, I have:

Code:

$_SESSION[$self]['sort']

as a sort, but several pages use the same fields for sorting, and it can get messy if you are using more than one page. I'd like to do something like:

Code:

$_SESSION[$self]['$thispage']['sort']

but if it's not going to work, it's a lot of hassle just to try. I thought I'd see if any of you knew off the tops of your heads? Thanks!

Yes, you can use multidimensional arrays for superglobals in PHP. The only catch I know of is that you can't use a numeric index, so just make sure that $self isn't a number.
