I have found that the following works pretty well when saving an entire array as a cookie: // PAGE 1 // set the array of data $array_data = array("look", "at", "me"); // serialize and then encode the data $encoded_data = base64_encode(serialize($array_data); // set the cookie setcookie("some_cookie", "$encoded_data", "time()+3600", "/", "", 0); // PAGE 2 // unserialize and then decode the data $decoded_data = unserialize(base64_decode($_COOKIE["some_cookie"])); // dump vars echo var_dump($decoded_data); -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.setcookie.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+21259 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+21259 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+21259
