How can you properly assign a value from a POST method to a variable and then store it in a session in PHP?

To properly assign a value from a POST method to a variable and then store it in a session in PHP, you need to first retrieve the value from the POST method using $_POST and assign it to a variable. Then, you can store this value in a session variable using $_SESSION. 

// Retrieve value from POST method and assign it to a variable
$value = $_POST['input_name'];

// Start or resume a session
session_start();

// Store the value in a session variable
$_SESSION['stored_value'] = $value;
