ok,
2 variables are involved, $_SESSION['tilaus'] ja $tilaus.
when coming to the code I'm posting, both of them contain the same values, which don't themselves matter.
What matters, is that when other is re-created, both of them are zeroed.

        if (isset($_SESSION['tilaus'])) {

                $tilaus = array(); //this zeroes both values

                foreach ($_SESSION['tilaus'] AS $rid => $row) { //you never get to this loop

                        $tilaus[$i++] = $row;

                }

        }

what can cause this ?
can both arrays point to same space in memory like in Java objects ?

Please don't cuss in your thread titles. It sounds like you have the PHP register_globals directive turned on: PHP: Description of core php.ini directives - Manual

which will cause any superglobal to be registered as a global, IE:

$_POST['data'] is automatically registered as: $data.
$_SESSION['tilaus] is automatically registered as $tilaus.

Taking a look at the session_register value you can find this note:

and fast!
dead on to the point
many thanks for this and slight embarrasment on not knowing this fairly basic thing :)

and no cussing in the future..

yeah
I was kind of supprised after I read up on register_globals.
And I'll tell you why.
I'm working on this code which stopped working a while back.
It stopped working the minute the servers updated to PHP5.
So when they we're in PHP4, register_globals were off

What's the use anyway for it anyway ?
It can't just be that you have some less typing to do when it's on ..
(althou historically, it's been done .. think of C :D )

So we started fixing the problems concerning register_globals($_SESSION['tilaus'] == $tilaus)
but
as we moved along changing things we realized something:

Everything is made in this way => so we have about 50 php files with or without this conflict( lots of require_once()=>lovely :( )

Is there anyway to search for these conflicts ?
unix script perhaps ? (i know some of 'em but ****=>this one would take a wizard)
