page 2.php

<?php   session_start(); error_reporting( e_all & ~e_notice );   if (!isset($_session['time'])) {  header("location: openingpage.php");  exit();  }  if (isset($_post['foodchoice']))  {    echo "yay!"; }    if (!isset($_post['foodchoice']))    {  echo "nay!";    }   ?> 

then within html body have:

<div id ="packageselected">  <?php  echo $_post['foodchoice'];   ?>  </div>
