Must be something else in your code or some bad server config, because
this works great for me:

<?php

session_start();

$_SESSION['user_id'][] = '6156';
$_SESSION['first_name'][]  = 'Diane';
$_SESSION['last_name'][]    = 'Cable';

$_SESSION['user_id'][] = '1234';
$_SESSION['first_name'][]  = 'Big';
$_SESSION['last_name'][]    = 'Ron';

$_SESSION['user_id'][] = '8867';
$_SESSION['first_name'][]  = 'Joe';
$_SESSION['last_name'][]    = 'Dirt';

$num_users = count($_SESSION['user_id']);

for ($i = 0; $i < $num_users; $i++)
    {
    $last_name = $_SESSION['last_name'][$i];
    $first_name = $_SESSION['first_name'][$i];
    echo("<p>$last_name, $first_name</p>");
    }

?>

Outputs this:

Cable, Diane

Ron, Big

Dirt, Joe
