No need to serialize arrays in PHP 4.0. They work seamlessly, as if you've passed a regular variable through. Thanks for your help and patience :)

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: May 18, 2002 2:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings Thanks SP and Richard, Well, I tested it and it works fine with sessions, without serializing it. The only problem with sending it through GET url strings is that you can only send about 255 characters of data through to the next page. I was just looking to see how others pass their array values through their URLs. So far sessions is a winner, but maybe there's another way. Like what Richard suggested. But that method seems too time consuming and will be confusing later on since it uses enumerated arrays. Just need some suggestions and hints. :) -----Original Message----- From: SP [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Saturday, May 18, 2002 1:31 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] passing ARRAYs through GET strings Hi Navid Don't you have to serialize it to put it in sessions? -----Original Message----- From: Navid Y.

For example, would it be better to use sessions in this case? Any help would be greatful, thanks. :) Navid -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
