passing arrays

[tjbarr]

I have a list box on page1 that is an array of counties.
I can get the counties out of the array on page2.
I need the counties on page3.
I have tried to pass these values from page 2 to 3 using :

<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo &county ?>" name="county" >

it comes over in the url as county=array; Help!!!!!

a quick and dirty solution is to convert the array to string using unique separator like '###' for example
in php this means :

//on page 1
$county = join('###', $conty);
// transfer it to page 3 via hidden filelds and there :
$county = implode('###', $conty);

p.s. i would use POST instead of GET
pay attention and to [man]serialize [/man] and [man]unserialize [/man] functions
they can also be useful in similar situations
