I have a PHP array named $CurrentDate[]

I have a simple html form.

<form name='MyForm' method='post' action='Calendar.php'>
<input name="FirstName" type="text">
<input name="LastName" type="text">
<input name='submit' type='submit' value='submit'>
</form>

How do I send the $CurrentDate[] array with the form to the
Calendar.php page?

Store it in the session or as a hidden field in your form.

Every time the user goes to a new page, everything previous to that page
is lost unless it's store in the $_SESSION variable or is sent with the
request (i.e. a hidden field).

I guess I was not clear. I want to store it as a hidden field in the
form, but how do I make the hidden field send the contents of the
array?

I think this is what you need:

<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo $CurrentDate; ?>">

or

<input type="hidden" value="<?php echo serialize($CurrentDate); ?>">

hope this helps,
