[RESOLVED] Foreach Session Variable thing won't echo!

[Amplifier]

Hi, I've got a pretty straight forward foreach statement, which is capturing fields from a form and storing their names as variables. It then creates a session variable for each of them. This seems to work, as when I echo $_SESSION['$key'] inside the foreach statement it displays all the field values. However, when I attempt to echo one of these values outside the foreach (here the variable is called fname, which is definately one of the field names) nothing comes up. Thankyou in advance to whoever ends my frustrator by pointing out what's at fault here 🙂

<?php 
	session_start();

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

instead of that echo, print the whole session to see what it has eaten. Actually print the $_POST also:

echo '<pre>'.print_r($_SESSION,true).print_r($_POST,true).'</pre>';

Hi, it output:

Array
(
[location] => loginCheck.php
[price] => Array
(
[239] => 239
)

[$key] => 14/06/09
[cart] => Array
    (
        [2] => 1
    )

)
Array
(
[fname] => test1
[lname] => test2
[cname] => test3
[address1] => test4
[address2] => test5
[suburb] => test6
[states] => ACT
[pcode] => test7
[email] => test8
[pword] => test9
[datejoined] => 14/06/09
)

the tests are what I entered into the form. Nice boing ball by the way 🙂

Remove the quotes from around '$key' where you use it as the $_SESSION array index. (You want the value of the variable, not the literal string '$key'.)

Aha! That did the trick! Thanks for the help guys, this has unlocked a huge part of the project I'm working on 🙂
