Question

I wanted to make sure I am adding using these arrays correctly, could someone please go over my code and clarify. I have tried printing the array and nothing is displaying.

HTML

Start Date: <input type="text" name="start_date[]"/> 
End Date: <input type="text" name="end_date[]"/> 
Description:<textarea name="position[]"></textarea>

PHP

initializeArrays(); // Initialize arrays
$_SESSION['start_date_array'][] = $_GET['start_date[]']; // Add html input arrays to a session array.
$_SESSION['end_date_array'][] = $_GET['end_date[]'];
$_SESSION['position_array'][] = $_GET['position[]'];
$_SESSION['submit_employment_message'] = 'Thank you for the submission';

I want to set the array I am getting to my session array. Essentially I am expecting there to be multiple start dates. Being submitted to the PHP page. For example there could be multiple of start dates inputted. Please let me know if you need any clarification.
Thank you for the help!

I think you want:

$_SESSION['start_date_array'] = $_GET['start_date'];
$_SESSION['end_date_array'] = $_GET['end_date'];
$_SESSION['position_array'] = $_GET['position'];

Form fields that have [] appended to their name are assumed to be arrays
