How do I pass a value from a multiple array session to another page?

I am working on a list. The list is displaying all the records from the database into a form.

The form: for each entry on the page1:

session_start()    
foreach ($_SESSION['names'] as $key => $value) {
   $_SESSION['values'] = $value;
   $value = $_SESSION['values']; 
   echo '<form action="../inc/prog/manage-group.php" method="post"">';
   echo '<button name="acceptGroup" value="'.$value.'">accept</button>';
   echo '<button name="declineGroup" value="'.$value.'">decline</button>';
   echo '</form>';
}

When I click on a button (accept or decline) then I want to send a particular $value to the page 2 with the session.

My issue is that it's only show a particular value on the page 2 even tho I click on another button which has a different value

What I have tried:

On the page 2:

session_start();
echo $key[$_SESSION['names']];

Also tried:

session_start();
foreach ($_SESSION['names'] as $key => $value) {
    $value = $_SESSION['names'];
    echo $value;
}

$_SESSION['values'] = $value;
$value = $_SESSION['values'];

What do you expect from these lines?

My suggestion for you is send the session item key to page2 and there you check whether the button is accepted or not.

I've created an example for you.

PAGE 1

<?php
    session_start();
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="UTF-8">
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <?php
            $array = array("Mary", "Paul", "John", "Peter");
            $_SESSION['names'] = $array;
                    
            foreach ($_SESSION['names'] as $key => $value) {
                   echo '<form action="page2.php" method="post"">';
                   echo '<input type="hidden" name="action" value="' . $key . '">';
                   echo '<button name="acceptGroup">accept</button>';
                   echo '<button name="declineGroup">decline</button>';
                   echo '</form>';
                }
        ?>
    </body>
</html>

PAGE 2

<?php
session_start();
if(isset($_REQUEST["acceptGroup"]))
{
    echo 'accept';
    echo '<br/>';
}
else 
{
    echo 'decline';  
    echo '<br/>';
}

//get the item through the key
echo $_SESSION['names'][$_REQUEST["action"]];
