Problems passing $_POST to $_SESSION

msteudel

Hi I'm having problems passing a $POST array to $SESSION and holding it over multiple pages. Please see code below.

<?php session_start(); ?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>

<body>
<form name="test" action="post_test2.php" method="post">
<input type="text" name="test">
<input type="text" name="tes1"
<input type="submit" name="su2bmit">

</form>
</body>
</html>

Page 2

<?php

session_start();

$_SESSION[postarray] = $_POST;

echo '
<form name="form2" method="post" action="post_test3.php">
<input type="submit">
</form>
';

echo "POST:<pre>";
print_r ( $_POST );
print_r ( $_POST _;

?>

Here are the results from this:

Array
(
[test] =>
[tes1] =>
[su2bmit] =>
)
Array
(
[postarray] => Array
(
[test] =>
[tes1] =>
[su2bmit] =>
)

)

Page 3

<?php

session_start();


print_r ( $_SESSION );
?>

Here are the results:

Array ( [postarray] => Array ( ) )

Page 2:

foreach ($_POST as $key => $value)
{
     $_SESSION['postarray'][$key] = $value;
}

And now on any other page where session_start() is called, you can reference it like this: $_SESSION['postarray']['key_name'];

dewen

did you try :

$SESSION['postarray'] = $POST;

instead of

$SESSION[postarray] = $POST;

Hey! I think my way works fine! 😃
