Ok I'm a newbie but there some things I think I can point out.
why does your ACTION have a GET method URL??? the ?xtabel should be filled in
by the form not by you. Second you can't access arrays like print($xtabel)
that will only print the constant Array not the values in there, you're gonna
need a loop for that. I think the best solution for you would be to create
sessions and register the array within the session. And like I said, making a
POST form with a GET URL attached to it makes no sense to me at all.  What
you could try, but I'm guessing here is the following.

print("<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION=\"script.php\">\n");
$val = current($xtabel);
print("<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=xtabel[] VALUE=\"$val\">\n");
/* You need the [] at xtabel cuz else the older value will be overwritten,
this will make it clear to PHP that it's an array/hash*/
while ($val = next($xtabel) {
  print("<INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=xtabel[] VALUE=\"$val\">\n");
}
print("INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT NAME=SUBMIT>\n");
print("</FORM>");

I HAVE NOT!!!  tested this but I think it might work. Since I didn't check it
might have some typos, you'll have to try I'm low on time and like I said I'm
new to this also, so no guarentees :-).

Kind regards
