Andrew,
Unlike in a Java servlet environment, arrays in PHP are not kept in
memory. All objects created by your script are destroyed at the end of
execution. So, once your script is done loading the page, all data
stored in memory is marked for garbage collection. You will have to
store your data structures (I am assuming you want to save persistent
data) in a database, flat file, or any other location that is to your
liking.
