please help with serialize

[Anon]

Hello everyone,

Thanks for taking the time to read my problem!

Here it is: I just put one value in an array. I want to pass this value to another function. Would I be correct in using serialize for this?

The next time I go to this function I want to pass that value in the array back to the function and unserialize it so that i can add another value to the array. And so on and so forth...

Does that seem right?? I've never used serialize before so i'm not sure how it works!
thanks again.

You don't need serialize to pass an array to a function, only to store it somewhere like a database or a text file in a plain text format.

Just pass an array into a function and you're done. i.e.:

function bubba($trucks){
print "Bubba drives ".count($trucks)." trucks";
}

$trucks = array("white","freightliner","mack");
bubba($trucks);
