Re: [PHP] Sessions and Forms
Ok, I'll have to try that on my next project. Unfortunately these forms were written by another developer and there too many variables to rename to make an array and not enough time on the project :-) But for next time. I've seen many examples of assigning values to session variables w/o forms on the list and online. Now should I look to set those values on the next page in the sequence of forms that the user is entering? page1.php ?php session_start(); *** session_register(test_var);*** // Is this ok? ? form action=page2.php input type=text name=test_var/input input type=submit /form page2.php ?php session_start(); *** $_SESSION[test_var] = $test_var; *** // Or is this ok? // or $HTTP_SESSION_VARS[test_var] = $test_var on =4.0.6 ? ... (rest of page here) Which of the two lines is more failsafe in terms of working every time?

How about something like this:
foreach($HTTP_POST_VARS as $key = $val) {
$myFormData['$key']=$val;
}
Then you just register the $myFormData and it will be available to you
whenever you need it.

Actually that may be a little redundent. You may well get away with:
$myFormData=$HTTP_POST_VARS;
