Question

I’m foreach-ing through my POST variables (though I’m using the $_REQUEST)

I want to put all the variables into their own Session variables, but it’s simply not working.
Does this look incorrect to anyone?

<?php

foreach ($_REQUEST as $posted_name => $posted_value){

 $_SESSION[$posted_name].' = '.$posted_value;

}
?>

I am including the session_start() in another part of my script. Above, of course.

There’s a big problem with this:

$_SESSION[$posted_name].' = '.$posted_value;

You don’t need to use the string concatenation . to set a session value. This line simple evaluates to a string and doesn’t save anything in the $_SESSION superglobal.

Try this instead

<?php
session_start();
foreach ($_REQUEST as $key => $value){
  $_SESSION[$key] = $value;
}
