I want to save its value in session when user will submit the form. when i store its value in session after submit a form then it replace name every time. But i want to store name value like array. If user submit form with name user1 and then submit again with username user2 then i want to show these 2 names in session variable and want to show increment of form submit. Like cart functionality. Is there any way to store these value with a single form. Please help me.

<input id="price" class="input" name="price" type="text" value="" size="30" /><br />
</div>
<input id="submit_button" type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
post.php

$_SESSION['cart_items'] = array();
$_SESSION['cart_items'] = $_POST['name'];
foreach($_SESSION["cart_items"] as $cart_item)
{
echo $cart_item;
}

Answer 1

Try to add values to session by
session_start();
foreach ($_SESSION["products"] as $cart_itm) //loop through session array
{
if($cart_item["code"] == $product_code){ //the item exist in array
$product[] = array('name'=>$cart_item["name"], 'code'=>$cart_item["code"], 'qty'=>$product_qty, 'price'=>$cart_item["price"]);
$found = true;
}else{
//item doesn't exist in the list, just retrieve old info and prepare array for session var
$product[] = array('name'=>$cart_item["name"], 'price'=>$cart_item["price"]);
}
}
Add the result by
foreach ($_SESSION["cart"] as $cart_item)
{
echo $cart_item["price"];
$subtotal = ($cart_item["price"]*$cart_item["qty"]);
$total = ($total + $subtotal);
}
echo $total;
