PHP + Smarty question.

Using Smarty templates (it is my guess this question is valid for other template engines aswell), is there a way to pass an array to the template, then stuff it in a hidden form field and retrieve it in another PHP source file as an array? is_array() does not seem to detect the object is an array, and thus my code creates it anew. Basically what I am trying to do is add new stuff to the array, after it has been passed to the template and back into the script.
