$_POST Processing Problem

    I have a small problem.  I am processing form data that I submitted using POST.  Here is the code that I wrote to sanitize the data before processing and then add it to the session to pass onto the next script:

        foreach ($_POST as $key => &$value) {
            if (is_array($value)){
              foreach ($value as $key2 => &$value2) {        // Handle two dimensional datasets
                $value2 = trim(strip_tags($value2));
                echo "2 $key.$key2 = $value2<br />\n";     // This is for debugging only
              }
            } else {
              $value = trim(strip_tags($value));
              echo "1 $key = $value<br />\n";                      // This is for debugging only
            }
        }

        $_SESSION[search_criteria]= array();
        $_SESSION[search_criteria]=$_POST;

        // for debugging purposes, I then traverse and echo $_SESSION[search_criteria]

    The problem is that between the end of the "foreach" and the assignment to the session, the value of the last form field gets over-written with the value of the next to last field.  For example:

        1 form_type = hs_search
        1 hs_first =
        1 hs_middle =
        <snip other fields... />
        1 hs_dcity =
        1 hs_state = 6
        1 hs_cem = 55,16

        in second testing section

        form_type is "hs_search"
        hs_first is ""
        hs_middle is ""
        <snip other fields... />
        hs_dcity is ""
        hs_state is "6"
        hs_cem is "6"

    Does anyone see what's wrong?  I've been over this several times and I can't see where the problem is.  Any help would be *greatly* appreciated!

    Could you post a copy of the form as well? It is hard to debug something without looking at the whole picture ;)

    Here is most of the form.  The last field value is overwritten, no matter which one it is, with the value of the next to last field.  So, as listed here, the Cemetery is the last field, and will be overwritten with the value of the Burial State.  However, if you re-enable Type of Burial, it will then be overwritten by the value of Cemetery (which is no longer overwritten by Burial State).  Very frustrating!

    Thanks in advance for any help that anyone can offer!

    I have tried out both the code and the html supplied and I can't see a problem. Perhaps I am missing something. Try adding print_r($_SESSION['search_criteria']) just after you assign it a value.

    I got 
    Array([form_type] => hs_search [hs_title] => Array ( [0] => 2 )
        [hs_first] => Andrew
        [hs_middle] => Peter Sidney
        [hs_nick] => Andy
        [hs_last] => Kicks
        [hs_state] => 84
        [hs_cem] => 55,16
        [hs_tob] => 2
    )







    which as far I could tell was normal. I got this when I didn't enter a name:
    Array
    ([form_type] => hs_search [hs_title] => Array ( [0] => 2 )
        [hs_first] => 
        [hs_middle] => 
        [hs_nick] => 
        [hs_last] => 
        [hs_state] => 84
        [hs_cem] => 55,16
        [hs_tob] => 2
    )









    which looks exactly the same to me except (of course) no name information.

    Thanks!  You're right.  I pulled just that processing code out of the script (and left all of the debugging junk) and put it into a fresh file, and voila! it worked.  It must have been a problem with all of the code that I was using to try to find problems.  Sigh.  At least I've got this problem fixed and can work on the next one...

    Thanks again!
