you can use array in session like this..

  1. you have to start session with session_start();
  2. and then store your array to session $_SESSION['items'][] = $item;

and then you use it, whenever you want:

foreach($_SESSION['items'][] as $item)
{
    echo $item;
}

What you specified is working correctly. Sessions can hold arrays.

The session superglobal is an represented as an array itself within PHP, so you can just get and set values by doing the following

Setting:

$_SESSION['exam_id'][] = "new value";

or

$_SESSION['exam_id'] = array("new value", "another value");

Getting:

$_SESSION['exam_id'][0]; // returns a value

This returns the first value in the exam_id array within the session variable

$t=array(1,2,3,4,5);
$_SESSION['exam_id'] = array();
array_push($_SESSION['exam_id'],$t[0]);
array_push($_SESSION['exam_id'],$t[1]);
array_push($_SESSION['exam_id'],$t[2]);
array_push($_SESSION['exam_id'],$t[3]);
array_push($_SESSION['exam_id'],$t[4]);

You can set PHP sessions equal to an array just like you're doing.

To set the $_SESSION variable equal to all POST data, you can do this:

$_SESSION['exam_id'] = $_POST;

Be sure to add session_start() prior to declaring any session variables.

You will need to start the session. Make your code;

<?php
session_start();
$t = array(1,2,3,4,5);
$_SESSION['exam_id'] = $t;
