preserve value of session

I have a lot of text boxes, check boxes, etc in a form which the user would fill-in and it will take 4 forms or pages. In every page after the user completed filling the forms, I got the value using session. How can I preserve the value that I could retrieve after the completion of all the 4 pages of forms and display it. I already tried to put it in array but when I called this array after the last page/form it was result nothing. Please see the code

Please help me and advice

Thanks


Code after in every page.

<?
session_start();
$arval = array();
require_once("../include/session.php");
reset ($_POST);
while(list($key, $val) = each ($_POST))
    {
		if ($val == "") 
		  $val = "NULL";
		$arVals[$key] = (get_magic_quotes_gpc()) ? $val : addslashes($val);
?>

PHP:

session.php

<?
    $_SESSION['SESSION'] = true;
	// setup a dummy array...
	$arVals = array("monthdatebenifit"=>"", "daydatebenifit"=>"", "yeardatebenifit"=>"");
?>

PHP:

I call $arVals['monthdatebenifit'] end echo but no result.

 

You're not assigning anything to the session, you're just using a regular array. Here's how you want to do it (in simplified code):

<?php
session_start(); 
while(list($key, $val) = each ($_POST))
...
$_SESSION[$key] = $val;
...
?>

Code (markup):

You can't just use any array with a session, you have to use the built-in $_SESSION variable.

You need to start the session on each of these 4 pages.

there shld be session_start() at the top of each page.

Thanks to both of you.
