ok this seem to work but how do I bring it back? This is what I have so far. <? $first[] = array('appple', 'pear', 'banana'); $second = serialize($first); $third[]= unserialize($second); echo $second; //outputs serialized data echo $third[1]; ?>

I think you misunderstand how arrays work (at least in your example) I think you really meant to try something like this: <? $first = array('appple', 'pear', 'banana'); $second = serialize($first); $third= unserialize($second); // $first == $third; var_dump($first); var_dump($third); echo $first[1]; // pear echo $third[1]; // pear ?>
