is this possible

[jansky]

is this possible in passing array in another file using GET

<?
$items=array("hello","world");
?>
<a href="test.php?items=<?=$items?>">test</a>

and in test.php is

echo count($_GET['items']);

Yes.
And if you try your code, you will see it works. As to what i can see.
Have you tried it?

[jansky]

the $_GET value is Array so definitely it is considered as a string not as an array

[Drakla]

Nope, not that way. You can [man]serialize[/man] the array and use that, then [man]unserialize[/man] it the other end, though.

I overlooked it is an array.

To serialize an array, is to make it sort of a string of an array
and when you unserialize, you get back array.
It can often be used when storing data into a file with fwrite()

This is how to do like drakla suggests:

<?php
$items=array("hello","world");
$serial=serialize($items);
?> 
<a href="test.php?serial=<?=$serial?>">test</a> 

////and in test.php
<?php
$items=unserialize($_GET['serial']);
echo count($items);
?>
