A hidden form field is simply a form field that is not displayed to the user. Form actions must be GET or POST. > In order to do it, I did the following: urlencode(serialize($my_array)). Don't URL encode the value of the form field, since the browser will take care of that. You should probably use POST rather than GET, because serializing an array might yield a very long string and make the URL too large for the Web browser and/or Web server to handle. Hope that helps.
