@shimulJan 28.2006 — You can store it at session $_SESSION . or if you want to use hidden field then use base64_encode($array_of_emailids); and after getting this value you can use base64_decode(); to decode it .

hope this will help You.

@bokehJan 28.2006 — If you don't want to store it as a session you could:

1) Send it as hidden fields:[code=php]<?php
foreach($emails as $k => $v){
echo '<input type="hidden" name="email['.$k.']" value="'.$v.'">'."n";
}
?>[/code]

2) Serialize it and send it as a cookie:[code=php]// set the array cookie
setcookie ('emails', serialize($emails));

// retrieve the array cookie
$emails = unserialize((get_magic_quotes_gpc())?stripslashes($_COOKIE['emails']):$_COOKIE['emails']);
[/code]
I kind of like option 2 the best because a hidden form needs to be posted by the user or javascript (which doesn't matter if it is part of a bigger form) whereas cookies work more seamlessly (although of course they need to be enabled on the UI). Also method 2 would work with strings, arrays, integers, booleans and even NULL values, making it a lot more versitile.

What other methods are there? Anyone?

Success!
