[FX.php List] Trying to read back an array

[Bob Patin]

A footnote:

You might ask why I'm trying to read the session vars instead of reading the POST values again; here's why:

I'm going to populate this array more than once. The user can return to this page from 2 different submitting forms, and slowly build up this array. So I have to read in the session vars rather than just displaying the POST vars.
