PHP, set all $_POST to its own named variable

on an PHP POST, is there a way of automatically setting each POST variable to its own named variable?

For example if I post

name = "henry"
age = "20"
location = "earth"

Instead of doing:

$name = $_POST['name'];
$age = $_POST['age'];
$location = $_POST['location'];

is there a way of looping through all POST variables and setting it to the same named standard variable?

You can be use this:

if ($_POST) {

    foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {

        $name = "{$key}";
        $$name = $value;
        echo "<pre>";
        echo $name;
   }
echo "<pre>";
echo $name;
echo "<pre>";
echo $age;
echo "<pre>";
echo $location;
}

It is not recommended to set $_POST variables programmatically. However, if you want it you can use extract function

 extract($_POST,EXTR_OVERWRITE,'prefix');

Extract function can help with this issue:

$_POST = ['foo' => 'bar'];
extract($_POST);
var_dump($foo) //returns 'bar'
