PHP Session variables from POST

I'm foreach-ing through my POST variables (though I'm using the $_REQUEST)

I want to put all the variables into their own Session variables, but it's simply not working. Does this look incorrect to anyone? 

<?php

foreach ($_REQUEST as $posted_name => $posted_value){

 $_SESSION[$posted_name].' = '.$posted_value;

}
?>

I am including the session_start() in another part of my script. Above, of course.

You'll need to session_start()

Your final code should look like

<?php
session_start();
foreach ($_POST as $posted_name => $posted_value) {
    $_SESSION[$posted_name] = $posted_value;
    //You added unnecessary commenting here
}
?>

Are you concatenating a string or are you setting a value?

Try

$_SESSION[$posted_name] = $posted_value;

and what @colighto said.

You intended to write this instead:

$_SESSION[$posted_name] = $posted_value;

There's a big problem with this:

$_SESSION[$posted_name].' = '.$posted_value;

You don't need to use the string concatenation . to set a session value. This line simple evaluates to a string and doesn't save anything in the $_SESSION superglobal.

Try this instead

<?php
session_start();
foreach ($_REQUEST as $key => $value){
  $_SESSION[$key] = $value;
}

you didn't call this function yet:

session_start();
