If you want to pass an array from one PHP script to another then you
would be better off using sessions. The disadvantage of passing data
as hidden fields in your HTML form is that anybody can see it using
the browser's 'view source' option. It is even possible to change the
values before hitting the 'submit' button.
Learn how to use sessions. You won't be sorry you did.
