You can serialize() your array and store it in a file, you'll get it by
using $MyArray = unserialize(file_get_contents("thefile.data"));
This file saving can be done with a $_SESSION, but I suppose the
array is the same for all visitors, so you probably don't need a
session
for that.

If you are really looking for an optimized way to include your array,
you can use an optimize like Turck MMCache, APC or AfterBurner which
'compiles' your include file and load it in shared memory.
