Yeah, after hitting the send button, I looked again at what I sent and
realized something else. Having already caused PHP to put the stuff into
an array, by the way I suggested constructing the form, you can
eliminate the foreach loop, and just use the assignment operator to get
PHP to copy the array from $_POST to $_SESSION (although, you might want
to do some validation code, in which case you probably do want to use
the foreach block, so that you have a chance to validate each of the
submitted values, and the keys [sometimes it's usefull to validate the
keys, to check to see if someone has forged a form submission with
values other than what they are supposed to be using]).
But, assuming you aren't worried about validating, you could do like this:
$_SESSION['age'] = $_POST['age'];
But, honestly, I would still use the foreach loop, check the values of
$name and $age to make sure they are legal, and in the correct format,
and then assign them individually, as before.
