Re: Passing Serialized Array via Hidden field

Just a small point, you can have both GET and POST. ------ search.html ----- <form method=POST action='page.php?action=search&sid=09h34fnn3f0qn34f8n38fn34htq83th83qh' > <input name=search type=text> <input type=submit value='Find It!'> </form> ----- page.php -------- $sid = $_GET['sid']; session_id($sid); session_start(); $search = $_POST['search']; Also, for those who don't know, you can even reference hash links <a href='page.php?action=something#myhashlink> Chris Shiflett wrote:

I am need to pass serialized assotiative array via form hidden field (not GET or POST).

This is impossible. 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.
