So I don't have to search 282,000 entries for php sessions tutorial (doesn't this say something about the stupidity on the internet - just how many of those entries could possibly be real and worth looking at? Since you "gurus" (I kowtow) have been there, done that, I would appreciate hearing of a tutorial that will give something more than "you can use sessions in to store information"; like what kind of information, just how is it used e.g. whatis this, where did it come from, what does it mean? -- if (isset($_REQUEST["ReturnToBooksList"])) and if (!isset($_SESSION["addNewBooks"])) - in these examples it come from inputs. They were not specifically declared or is this a declaration by itself... how can I find this information so I can understand how to use it? I really don't want to bother you guys but do you see the futility here? My little programs are advancing little by little, but boy is it a struggle to get any information. I eventually dig it out but, frankly, it might be more productive digging salt mines in the Urals. :-( PJ "the bitcher" -- Hervé Kempf: "Pour sauver la planète, sortez du capitalisme." ------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Jourdan --- pj@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.ptahhotep.com http://www.chiccantine.com/andypantry.php -- "Pour sauver la planète, sortez du capitalisme." - pinko liberal ;) I'm sure someone else has already proposed this, but... Get an entry-level book on php, it will answer all your current and future questions about arrays, forms, sessions, etc. Alternatively look at VTC or Lynda.com for their excellent video tutorials. I'm sure many of the "gurus" you refer to on this list started their path to gurudom by going through one or both these routes. Definitely easier than digging salt mines, and has the added advantage of enlightening you to new possibilities you hadn't thought of before. I've done both (but I'm no guru) and I can definitely recommend both, especially having a book around for a reference when you want to quickly check something - easier than trying to find the reference in a video.
