Re: passing ARRAYs through GET strings

Well what I normally do to pass very large arrays through strings.. when NOT using sessions, I use serialize, but it sounds like you didn¹t want to serialize.. If you give me an idea of what you are doing I might be able to figure out the best way to pass those variables :) And no you don't need to serialize the data when using sessions. Sessions themselves are serialized automatically, you don¹t need to worry about that..
