Array in session object

Split it into two parts:

1) Adding / retrieveing an array from session scope
2) Adding items to an array

So to add items to an array:
aMyArray(3) = NewValue
(note: you may need to ReDim() the array depending on how you declared it)

To save an array to session scope:
session("aSavedArray") = aMyArray

To retrieve the array from session scope:
aMyArray()= session("aSavedArray")

This is only basic so there may be conversion / assignment issues, however if you search google for arrays in VBscript, you should get a number of helpful articles.

Cheers,

I have managed to add a carID to a to the first index of an array in a session. however when i try to calculate the length of the array so i know where to put the next ID i get the following error. I want to have one array with a max length of 5.

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01c3'

Object not a collection

it refers to my for statement. everything works ok(i think) up to the for statement, however my array declarations may be wrong. I just can get it to work. could someone please offer dome assistance.

<%
OPTION EXPLICIT
Dim compareArray(4), carID, counter, compareArrays, counter2, compareArrays2

counter= 0
counter2 = 0
carID = REQUEST.FORM("compare")

IF SESSION("compareArray(0)")= "" THEN

 compareArray(0)= carID
 session("compareArray(0)") = compareArray(0)
 
 response.write("test " & session("compareArray(0)"))
END IF
response.write("test " & session("compareArray(0)"))

FOR EACH compareArrays IN session("compareArray")
  counter = counter + 1
 NEXT
response.write(counter)
%>

Thanks for that andrew, but still having problems.

Sorry to be a pest but how would i put the array in the session object into a local array. I have been trying for hours but keeps going round in circles
