Re: passing an array from a form

This is what I do to pass arrays between forms... I use the serialize() function.. for example if I have an $array I serialize it like so: $serializedArray = serialize($array); Then I pass the var as a hidden form type... Once I get to the next form I unserialize the serialized array and all the data is like it was before it was serialized... $array = unserialize($serializedArray); If you are wondering how these functions work you can check out php.net and their quick ref. guide... hope this helps!
