You might strongly consider using foreach() instead for reasons of
performance (1000% or more faster):

You could simply:
foreach ($_POST as $name = $value)
{
...
}
Hope that helps.

[PHP] resubmitting $POST data to another script
I'm creating a form with 170 fields, and I'd like to create an intermediary page so the user can review their info before submitting it again to the emailing script. Since the form has so much data, I was hoping I could just take the entire $POST array and pass it to the emailing script like an HTML form POST method (so that form A sends its data via POST to PHP script B, which displays it for review; upon successful review, the user clicks Submit again to pass the $POST data on to Perl script C, which is prewritten). Is this possible? I looked in the PHP Manual but couldn't find anything; I'm having a difficult time finding stuff in there, since I have to know what category a function falls under before I can look it up.

Re: [PHP] resubmitting $POST data to another script
I had a similar problem, but with much lesser fields, so I passed the $_POST to $_SESSION, but I guess there's a more practical way to do this, or so I hope.

Re: [PHP] resubmitting $POST data to another script
serialize(), unserialize(), watch out for escaped quotes, you propably need to stripslashes() before unserialize(), then addslashes on each variable.

You want the user to resubmit all previous form data when submitting the second form, right? If not, you may want to restate your question, because that is certainly how I interpreted it, and that seems to be how Jay interpreted it as well. Of course, you might also consider sessions, rather than passing that much form data back and forth across the Internet.
