Concept is solid, method is wrong. Understand that <name=layer[]> is but
one index in the array. To produce an array with multiple indicies you must
create a separate <input> for each value. Example..
foreach ($layer as $lay)
{
echo "<input type='hidden' name='layer[]' value=$lay>";
}
That will produce..
<input type='hidden' name='layer[]' value=a>
<input type='hidden' name='layer[]' value=b>
<input type='hidden' name='layer[]' value=c>
And when the submit button is pressed $_POST will contain the list array
$layer.
