To this you might also add an MD5 hash to check for authenticity, depending on what you're doing with that incoming data that you're unserializing (consider an client who sends you a serialized array that you didn't intend). You'll also want to encode the serialized data with htmlentities: $serialized = serialize($testArray); $hash = md5($serialized . "my secret phrase"); echo '<input type="hidden" name="serialized" value="'.htmlentities($serialized).'">'; echo '<input type="hidden" name="hash" value="'.$hash.'">'; then on the receiving end: if ($_POST['hash'] != md5($_POST['serialized'] . "my secret phrase") { // the hash doesn't match up, consider the data unusable } else{ $testArray = unserialize($_POST['serialized']); } HTH /jw
