Question

Is it a good practise, to use the php session object, to store several of my variables, can be arrays of request results.

I need this method, because I would like to do the request in a php file, store the result and immediately, (depending on result) redirect to a page,
It’s probably not the best way, that’s why I’m asking

thx for any advice,

edit: structure:

index.html
handler.php
view1.php

in index.html, I’ve got a

<form action="handler.php" ...

in handler.php, I construct a request and get a result,

if ($result->success) 
    header("location ./view1.php");
else 
    echo 'failed';

in view1.php, I would like to list the result array

Webshops do it – so why shouldn’t you?

Some of the larger eCommerce frameworks store complicated data and objects in sessions and PHP handles this pretty well.
