I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're trying to accomplish.? I thought $_POST was sort of "incoming-only", so if you're trying to prepopulate it for the 2nd page, I think you need to possibly use hidden input fields instead to pass the values forward.? On the other hand, if you're trying to get variables named for each incoming value, have you looked at the import_request_variables function?

Perhaps a short concrete example of your end game would be helpful.
