Saving Arrays

 
$array["a"] = "Foo";
    $array["b"] = "Bar";
    $array["c"] = "Baz";
    $str = serialize($array);
    $strenc = urlencode($str);
    print $str . "\n";
    print $strenc . "\n";

Saving Objects

 
<?
    abstract class Dog {
            public function __clone( ) {
                    echo "In dog clone\n";
            }
    }
    class Poodle extends Dog {
            public $Name;
                    public function __clone( ) {
                    echo "In poodle clone\n";
                    parent::__clone( );
            }
    }
    $poppy = new Poodle("Poppy");
    $safepoppy = urlencode(serialize($poppy));
?>

<?php
     $a= array("foo" => "testing", 0 => 10, 1 => "mystring");
     echo serialize($a);
?>
