I inserted var_dump successively at each stage in the script to see
where it changes from the (correct) array to a (incorrect) string. I
narrowed it down to ONE statement, but cannot see how that could
possibly change the variable. Here's the section with var_dump, then
the one statement, and then the var_dump repeated exactly.
var_dump($_SESSION['to']);
$to=$_SESSION['to'][$ct]['email'];
var_dump($_SESSION['to']);
The output of the two var_dumps is:
The first:
array(1) { [0]=> array(3)
{ ["fname"]=> string(4) "Dick"
["lname"]=> string(5) "Yates"
["email"]=> string(23) "dyates(at)salemharvest(dot)org" }
}
The second:
string(23) "dyates(at)salemharvest(dot)org"
If I comment out the second line (that sets $to), the second var_dump
comes out correct. Am I losing my mind?
