PHP how to get specific value from array and store in `$_SESSION`

Question

I have an array where I want to fetch a specific value ('created') and store then im a $_SESSION in a new array. How can I achieve that?

my array looks like this

Array
    (
        [0] => Array
            (
                [product_id] => 679
                [quantity] => 1
                [created] => 2018-10-01
            )

        [1] => Array
            (
                [product_id] => 677
                [quantity] => 1
                [created] => 2018-10-05
            )

        [2] => Array
            (
                [product_id] => 678
                [quantity] => 1
                [created] => 2018-10-03
            )

    )

I tried something like:

foreach($created as $i) {
   $values = [$i]['created'];
   echo $values;
}

session_start();
$_SESSION['creation_dates'] = $values;

but that doesn't work.

Can someone help me out?

You need to start your session first thing, before any output. Your echos are preventing that. You must be getting Notices but not seeing them depending on your error_reporting.

Try this code instead:

session_start();

$values = array();
foreach($creation_dates as $i) {
   $values[] = $i['created'];
}

$_SESSION['creation_dates'] = $values;

print_r($values);
print_r($_SESSION['creation_dates']);
