HELP: array object across different php page

scli

I have 3 php files.

1 file called parse.php which parses a xml file, which contains data for future uses. After parsing the data, it stored as an array of object.
1 file called display_list.php which uses the data in the array of object
1 file called display_list_again.php which also uses the data in the array of object

i have tried to put the array of object into session after parsing the xml. and i have tried to get the session (array of object) at display_list.php/display_list_again.php but it seemed error will occur.

My first question is: Is it possible to put/get an array of object into a session?

I knew that there is an alternative: parse the xml every time when i need to display it. i.e. parse the xml for display_list.php, parse the xml again for display_list_again.php. However, is there any method to parse the xml once and store it somewhere so that i can use it later?

Thank all.

Oh yeah, session variables as arrays are OK.

so...

session_register("test");
$test = Array('blue','red','yellow');
echo var_dump($test);

That's that, now to call that session variable for use in other files make sure you have a "session_register" statement somewhere or if it is a user-function use "global $test;" in the function. So (use with above)...

function blah(){
global $test;
return $test[0];
}

function dodad(){
return $test[0];
}

echo blah(); //returns 'blue'
echo dodad(); //returns False
