[FX.php List] Beating a dead horse (was: trying to read back an array)

[Dale Bengston]

OK, if the support request doesn't have a database record key, then you could probably just call it 'suppReq' or whatever you want, and refer to it by that element key in $_SESSION.

if( (strlen($_POST['recid'])>0) && (is_array($_POST['recid']))) {
	foreach($_POST['recid'] as $recid) {
		$_SESSION['suppReq'][$recid]['description] = $_POST['description'.$recid] ;
		$_SESSION['suppReq'][$recid]['type'] = $_POST['type'.$recid] ;
		$_SESSION['suppReq'][$recid]['serial'] = $_POST['serial'.$recid] ;
		$_SESSION['suppReq'][$recid]['problem'] = $_POST['problem'.$recid] ;
		$_SESSION['suppReq'][$recid]['recid'] = $recid ;
	}
}

	foreach($_SESSION['suppReq'] as $recid => $value) {
		$status = "Open; pending manufacturer approval";
		$description = $value['description'];
		$problem = $value['problem'];
		$serial = $value['serial'];
		echo $recid;
