So I have a PHP page (labeled page_2) that is being passed data from a POST request from a form from another page (page_1) (let's label them form_1 and form_2. Let's say form_1 hold the data data_1 and form_2 holding data_2.

As for the script, I'm attempting to insert the data from both form_1 and form_2 into a variable defined via page_2.

So far I have the following:

<?php
$var = "alpha=$_POST['form_2']&beta=$_POST['form_2']"
echo $var
?>

The expected output is:

alpha=data_1&beta=data_2

However, I get no output. Any ideas?

    Array keys inside of a double-quoted string should not have single quotes. Try `$_POST[form_2]`, or surrounded the variable with curly brackets `{$_POST['form_2']}` – aynber Jan 22 '20 at 18:23

    You've got syntax errors in your code. You can run `php -l ` from the command line to perform a syntax check, or enable error reporting so that you get runtime errors. – Alex Howansky Jan 22 '20 at 18:24
