Sending Hidden "post" Variables (arrays)

This isn't really a script question, but here goes. <br /><br />You know the way you can send hidden variables in a form using the <input> tag. Well, I'm trying to send a hidden array variable. Arrays are normally sent through the <select multiple="multiple"> tag and I would like to send one while hidden. <br /><br />Is there any way of doing something like this. I was thinking about a workaround. I could build the form like normal, and use css tags to make it invisible. <br /><br />What do you think? If you need clarification, Just let me know. I can post an example if neccessary.<!--content-->
not sure if you can use something like Sessions to accomplish this, Just a thought though...<br />I am still learning about php so sorry if this is not in line with what you ar etrying to accomplish<!--content-->
nope, just to clarify something...it won't be using php. <br /><br />If there is such a thing, It will be something along these lines <br /> <input type="hidden" name="myarr" value="serialized_array" /><!--content-->
You almost got it:<br /> <input type="hidden" name="myarr<b>[]</b>" value="serialized_array" /><br /><br />The answer is those [ ] in the name attribute.<br /><br />Hope it helps <img src="http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--content-->
