Another way is to use something like this:
$data = array(
'date_of_birth' => '1980-01-01',
'name' => 'John Smith',
'address' => '123 High Street'
);
printf('<option value="%s">%s</option>',
htmlentities(serialize($data)),
htmlentities($data['name'])
);
And then once the form has been posted:
$data = unserialize($_GET['whatever']);
Don't do that unless you really trust the users though, because the $data
you get back could contain anything!
