[FX.php List] Retaining $_POST Requests in Form Redux

[Steve Hannah]

Some time ago I had problems storing non-simple data types in session  
variables. (i.e. you could store strings but not arrays).  I can't  
remember if I was doing something wrong, but if you run into the same  
problem you may have to do
:
$_SESSION['postvars'] = serialize($_POST);

And then

$post_vars = unserialize($_SESSION['postvars']);
