Hi, I am need to pass serialized assotiative array via form hidden field (not GET or POST). In order to do it, I did the following:

Ummmm....is there a third form method that I'm not aware of?

urlencode(serialize($my_array)). However, after retrieving data from hidden field and unserialize I've got junk.

Why are you urlencode'ing it?

Someone can explain me what I did wrong?

Did you urldecode it before you unserialized it? Better yet, don't urlencode it at all.

Also, do I need to do addslashes/stripslashes with serialized (or encoded ?) data?

You shoudn't, but if you add on the submit, don't forget to strip on the retrival.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion. ********************************************* * Best Regards --- Andrei Verovski * * Personal Home Page * http://snow.prohosting.com/guru4mac * Mac, Linux, DTP, Development, IT WEB Site *********************************************
