I have the following code:

if (isset($_SESSION['kshopuser'])) {
$USER=unserialize($_SESSION['kshopuser']);
}else{
$_SESSION['kshopuser'] = array();
}


This generates this notice:
Notice [PHP]: unserialize(): Argument is not a string in file c:blablablaa

I've been tring to fix this without sucess. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

do a
var_dump($_SESSION['kshopuser']);


just before the
$USER = ...

Thanks Mithrandir!
Should have thought of that before posting

In case anyone else runs into a similar problem, here's my solution:
if (isset($_SESSION['kshopuser']) && !$_SESSION['kshopuser']="") {
//var_dump($_SESSION['kshopuser']);
$USER=unserialize($_SESSION['kshopuser']);
}else{
$_SESSION['kshopuser'] = array();
}

//var_dump($_SESSION['kshopuser']);

you will need to remove the // for it to work as it would be ignored if commented out.

Here is a simpler way:

if (!empty($_SESSION['kshopuser'])) {
