Shouldn't this be moved up?
($_SESSION['products'] = serialize($products);)
Because you check for value in $_SESSION['products'] above the point
where you assign a value to it.
As far as I can see, your if-condition will never become true.
Something like this perhaps?
if (isset($_POST[form_products])) {
$_SESSION'products'] = serialize($products);
/* and since you've just assigned a value to $_SESSION['products']
I guess you don't have to check for a value */
if (!empty($_SESSION['products'])) {
$products = array_unique(
array_merge(unserialize($_SESSION['products']),
$_POST['form_products']));
}
print "<p>Your products have been registered!</p>";
