Assuming register_globals is off:
session_start();
foreach ($HTTP_POST_VARS as $name => $value) {
$$name = $value;
session_register($name);
}
Remember, $name only contains the name of the variable, not a
reference to the variable itself. To create a new global variable
with the name "$name", you have to use a variable variable, hence
$$name.
Session_register, however, only requires a string which contains the
name of the variable you want to register. $name will provide that by
itself. In your example, by leaving off the dollar sign, you are
referencing an undefined constant called "name"...
