What is the best way to pass an array using PHP sessions instead of GET method?

When passing an array using PHP sessions instead of the GET method, you can serialize the array before storing it in the session and then unserialize it when retrieving it. This ensures that the array data is preserved and can be easily accessed across different pages without exposing sensitive information in the URL. 

// Start the session
session_start();

// Define the array to be stored
$array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];

// Serialize the array and store it in the session
$_SESSION['array_data'] = serialize($array);

// Retrieve the array data from the session and unserialize it
$retrieved_array = unserialize($_SESSION['array_data']);

// Output the retrieved array
print_r($retrieved_array);
