Youre using .= "." is for string concat so youre arrays are getting converted to strings you should use one of the following:

$_SESSION['cart'][] = array($_POST[name],$_POST[price],$_POST[quantity]);

$_SESSION['cart'] += array($_POST[name],$_POST[price],$_POST[quantity]);

array_push(array($_POST[name],$_POST[price],$_POST[quantity]), (array) $_SESSION['cart'];

You can use print_r and see the content of the array.

i.e., print_r($_SESSION)

Var_dump often gives more information then print_r. I really don't see how or why this would be any help.
