Passing an array through a cookie

[ben1234597]

I set up a cookie set function, since then I have found that I need to pass an array through one of the parameters like so

cookies_setcookie_domain ( "HI_photo", "cimg=$img&cproduct=$chkProductReturned&".
"ctype=$type", 0, "/" );

where $chkProductReturned is the array, BUT the only value that gets passed to "cookies_setcookie_domain" is the word "Array".

the parameters are
function cookies_setcookie_domain ( $cookie_name, $cookie_val, $exp, $pth )

is it possible to send the array values this way?

Thanks for the help

Use the serialize function to transform the array to a string:

cookies_setcookie_domain('HI_photo', "cimg=$img&cproduct=".serialize($chkProductReturned)."&ctype=$type", 0, '/' );

Then you can like this when you want to get the array back:

$theArray = unserialize( stripslashes($theFetchedString));

I hope you understand the basics of what I mean.
