Just one addition:

Henrik's examples are OK, but in case of Session, you do not have to
serialize, this will be done by the sessionhandler before storing.

In case of POST of GET: Yes please: Serialize AND do urlencoding to be sure
all characters are transmitted safely.

For testing, be sure you add some newlines and ' and " and & into the
information stored in the arrays, to check if they all get transmitted
right.
