hey there,

i have a variable in php called $\_SESSION[‘memberinfo’]. it is an array.

anyone know the syntax so i don’t have to store an array value into a temporary variable? for example instead of:

$username = $\_SESSION[‘memberinfo’][4];  
$query =  
“SELECT \* FROM members where username=’$username’”;

use this instead:  
$query =  
“SELECT \* FROM members where username=’$\_SESSION[`memberinfo`][4]’”;
