Hello Reader's! If you want to send an array as a Param with the url then you can use the serialize and deserialize option from PHP Lets see the example below:-
<?php
$array["a"] = "Thusitha";
$array["b"] = "Sumanadasa";
$array["c"] = "Lakmal";
$array["d"] = "Nanayakkara";
$str = serialize($array);
$strenc = urlencode($str);
print $str . "\n";
print $strenc . "\n";
?>
print $str . "\n"; gives a:4:{s:1:"a";s:8:"Thusitha";s:1:"b";s:10:"Sumanadasa";s:1:"c";s:6:"Lakmal";s:1:"d";s:11:"Nanayakkara";} and
print $strenc . "\n"; gives
a%3A4%3A%7Bs%3A1%3A%22a%22%3Bs%3A8%3A%22Thusitha%22%3Bs%3A1%3A%22b%22%3Bs%3A10%3A%22Sumanadasa%22%3Bs%3A1%3A%22c%22%3Bs%3A6%3A%22Lakmal%22%3Bs%3A1%3A%22d%22%3Bs%3A11%3A%22Nanayakkara%22%3B%7D
So if you want to pass this $array through URL to page_no_2.php,
ex:-
$url ='http://page_no_2.php?data=".$strenc."';
To return back to the original array, it needs to be urldecode(), then unserialize(), like this in page_no_2.php:
Output will like this:-
array(4) {
["a"]=>
string(8) "Thusitha"
["b"]=>
string(10) "Sumanadasa"
["c"]=>
string(6) "Lakmal"
["d"]=>
string(11) "Nanayakkara"
}
