Sorry for confusing you with a joke. For using forms it is essential to know
the ways data get transmitted from the form to the server. See the very
useful overwiew Simon Stienen gave you in his answer.

Not a problem, just common.

No it was a joke. You have to use POST or GET.

If you want a shortcut to get all your postdata into the $_SESSION array:
// This puts the post data at the end of the $_SESSION array:
$_SESSION = $_SESSION + $_POST;
// As an alternative, this will overwrite already existing entries with the
same keys in the session data:
$_SESSION = array_merge($_SESSION, $_POST);
But usually you will not want this, as you want to process the posted data
rather than store it into the session.
