PHP passing session variables to array

Question

In the following code snippet, I need to pass two value from the session but somehow I am not able to achieve it. I am a beginner in PHP and this code is not written by me but I need to modify it to cover what I need.

I need to pass two variables which is being used as a session posted from the previous page after the submission of data from class.php. first one is $_SESSION['data']['name'] and the second one $_SESSION['data']['lastname']

require_once 'admin/class.php';

    $requests = array('version'  => '1',                     
                      'info'     => 'Full name: ' + $_SESSION['data1']['code1'] + ' ' + $_SESSION['data']['lastname'],
                      'amount'   => $amount      
                      );

Basically the way I am passing the variables to the array is not correct. Any help would be appreciated.

Also you have ['data1']['code1'] instead of ['data']['name'] — Bankzilla

+ is not the concatenation operator in PHP. It is .. It should be -

'info' => 'Full name: ' . $_SESSION['data1']['code1'] . ' ' . $_SESSION['data']['lastname']

Thanks for the following I receive error 'info' => 'info: '.$_SESSION['data']['name']' family: '.$_SESSION['data']['lastname']' '.$_SESSION['data']['phone']' ID: '.$_POST['userId'] Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '' family: '' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting ')'

You are missing the . before family.

in php use (.) for concatenation like below you can get the idea

'info' => 'Full name: ' . $_SESSION['data1']['code1'] . ' ' . $_SESSION['data']['lastname']

You need to make sure that you call session_start() in the beginning of every file, where you are going to use the $_SESSION variable.

   1. This way is directly assign two variable in session
    $_SESSION['name'] = $_POST['inputname'];
    $_SESSION['lastname']=$_POST['inputlastname'];

    And next page to show:
    echo $_SESSION['name']." ".$_SESSION['lastname'];

   2. If you want to store array format
    $_SESSION["name_array"] = array(
                                    0 => array(
                                            "first_name" => $name, "last_name" => $lastname
    ));

    and next page to so foreach loop like

    foreach($_SESSION["name_array"] as $item)
    {
    echo $item['first_name'];
    echo $item['last_name'];
    }
