You could serialize (http://us2.php.net/serialize) the array and then
register the serialized array as a session variable. With every call to the
array you would then have to unserialize the object . . .


$my_object = serialize($your_very_large_array);
session_register($my_object);



. . . For subsequent pages

function unpackit($ob)
{
ret_array = unserialize($ob);
return ret_array;
}

$my_large_array = unpackit($my_object);

.. . .
