Well Rick, Let's say I had a form with a text box and an textarea box. The text box won't contain that many strings, but the textarea box can contain thousands of characters, if the user wished to write that much. Both of the fields will be contained in a single array. If I send this array through a GET string, it will only pass 255 characters through to the next page, and the rest of the content will be cut out of the picture as if it never existed. Then, I thought maybe sessions would do the trick, and it does a great job so far. So now I'm stuck with the idea that using sessions to pass arrays, in the particular situation, would be the best thing to do. But, out of curiousity, I wanted to know how other people sent their arrays back and forth from one page to another. That's all :) Thanks for your patience, I really appreciate it.

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 donšt need to worry about that.
