if you're passing an array. example, try

<?php

if(isset($_POST['array'])){

 

foreach($_POST['array'] as $key){

 

echo $key;

 

}

}

?>

[php1]

i tried your code and my $_POST['array'] is not set

 

whethet i assigend everything correctly in 1st page. some serialize() and  unserialize() functions are there, whther I have to use that one. i'm sorry i am new to php..

[hansford]

I'm not seeing the form in your code, which is important in the way php will handle the form values. Please post.

you can make the $_POST variables as hidden like bellow

 

<?php
foreach($_POST as $key => $value) {
  echo '<input type="hidden" name="'.$key.'" value="'.$value.'">';
}
?>

Hope this will help you
