Assigning a $_SESSION['xxxx'] variable to be an array

[khovorka]

Hello,

I need to be able to pass a very large array between PHP pages.

Can I do this? $SESSION['holder_array'] = array();
and then assign to the $SESSION['holder_array'] as though it
were just created as $holder_array = array();

Hope you get the idea, I have found some code to userialize an array but I
am afraid of the size of the array that is would bomb out anyway?

Thank you,

Kim H.

Yes, arrays are allowed in session. As to wether the size of it is unlimited I don't know. There is a memory limit a php script can allocate so it'd affect the size of your varibles for sure (8MB for starters afair - changeable in php.ini). And session data is stored in a file so you have to have a certain ammount of free disk space there.
It really depends on what you mean by very large.
