Why are you serializing the array? You can just do a $_SESSION['a'] =
$b;

Data is automatically serialized when it is inserted into a SESSION. So
the session variable really has a serialized serialized array.

I don't know if not serializing the array before you store it will
help, but it's worth a shot.
