Session Vars aren't passing properly?!?!

Savaal

After submitting a form, I send all data to a page that changes all post data to session data. After that, it goes to a page that totals the results. This last page states that all of my vars are Unidentified Indices. I have scoured the pages, and can't figure out what the problem is.

Page 1: Simple form data.

Page 2: foreach loop to change $POST vars into $SESSION vars. No post data sent to next page.

Page 3: No post data received. All vars should be Session vars. None of them are being recognized.

All pages have session_start(), and all pages use the same syntax for vars, e.g. $_SESSION['varname']. What could be the problem?

What happens if you echo your $_POST['variables'] on your page 2? Do the variables echo OK? If so, then the problem would probably be somewhere in your conversion on Page 2 to the session variables...

Post your code (or the applicable portions) so we can help out better, because without your code, we can only speculate.

I found the answer to the problem, but it was quite involved...

On my conversion page, the code was:

foreach($POST as $key => $value)
{
$SESSION['$key'] = stripslashes($value);
}

The problem was so hard to figure out until I did another foreach loop in page 3 to determine whether my vars were passing. They weren't, so I came back to page 2. This is what I found...

If I removed the single quotes from this line, all was repaired... on this page...

$_SESSION[$key] = stripslashes($value);

Then I had to go to page 3 and make all of my output look like this...

if it was in double quotes, such as the following, the quotes had to be like this...

echo "'$_SESSION[varname]'"

not like this...

echo "$_SESSION['varname']"

If it was like normal, it would give undefined Index errors...

So, long story solved, but no thanks to documentation... Who knew that you had to have single quotes in a different spot if you were passing it through double quotes...

Thanks again for your help... Hope this helps someone in the future...
