PHP会话在多维时不会持久化

Question

I'm having a little issue, when I do this:

$_SESSION['cartItems'] = array();

It works fine, and it creates a cartItems array in the session.

But when I do this:

$_SESSION[2]['cartItems'] = array();

This works until I refresh the page, then it forgets this session array?

I tried to create the 2 array first:

$_SESSION[2] = array();
$_SESSION[2]['cartItems'] = array();

But still does not work like it is supposed to do.

How can I solve this?

Answer 1

Numeric keys are converted to strings because the $_SESSION variable is an associative array. You might want to try using $_SESSION["2"] when assigning or retrieving values.

Further more, it looks to me like you are trying to persist several cart arrays, so why not use something like this instead:

$_SESSION['carts'] = array();
$_SESSION['carts'][0] = array();
$_SESSION['carts'][1] = array();
...

Or even $_SESSION['carts'][0]['cartItems'] = array()
