Answer 1

Sessions are simple. You include the component, write something to the session and read it from the session later. That’s it. You can store in it almost anything you want, including arrays.

class FooController extends AppController {

    public $components = array('Session');

    public function foo() {
        $this->Session->write('some.key', 'some value');
    }

    public function bar() {
        $baz = $this->Session->read('some.key');
    }

}
