multiple forms

[NickG21]

hey everyone,
      i am working on a signup page that uses 6 different forms.  in each page i use
<?php
  session_start();
  foreach($_POST as $key => $var) {
    $_SESSION[$key] = $var;
  }
?>
to store all the information that is submitted.  after the 6th and final form page is submitted i send the information to a formmail.php in order to e-mail all of the information to my e-mail address, however, the only thing submitted is the value of the last thing that was checked in the last form.  The thing i don't understand is that when i do an

echo '<pre>', print_r($_SESSION, true), '</pre>';

all of the information from all six forms is displayed on the last page but will not send in the mail.  can anyone help me out a little bit, all help is greatly appreciated
thanks a lot

If this "formmail.php" is one of the standard ones floating around, it only knows about information in the $_POST arrary. It knows nothing of anything in the $_SESSION array. You will have to write your own script to email the information. It isn't very hard to do.

NickG21:  If all of the forms fields have the exact same names on all 6 pages then your problem is simple; because you're dynamically writing all of the $_POST elements to the $_SESSION array, every time that sequence of code is run, it overwrites your previous values you had set which is why you ONLY see the very last page's values in your session array.

all of the form names have different names and values on all of the forms, i thought this would make it easier to be able to decipher all of the information that is sent to the e-mail, and as for writing my own script, i do not have much of an idea where to start, i am pretty new to PHP, also i was wondering if the fact that i never close the session has anything to do with the variables not being sent?

thanks
