Re: Writing session variable

$this->data contains the following information!

array(
Book => array(
[name] => 'bla bla'
)
)

so when you save it in the session variable "book", you must save the
new title as "book.Book.title", then the title will be placed inside
the Book array in the session.

Enjoy,
John
