Re: passing arrays between pages

I think you can get it to work the way you want if you change the urlencode to base64_encode, and urldecode to base64_decode. I'm not sure why, but when I tested this, the urlencode did ensure that the data went through from one script to the next without change - double quotes ended up having an extra "\" to escape them at the front. Using the base64_encode seems to allow the entire serialized array to be passed through as is, and successfully unserialized out the back end. Mind you, I tested this on a one dimensional array, but since your example also failed for one dimensional array using urlencode, I suspect its urlencode that is at fault.
