I'm trying to pass a variable from a search page to the results page via
GET. The $MANUFACTURERS variable contains an array and is obtained from the
URL. I've tried the following to no avail...

<input name="manufacturer[]" type="hidden" multiple id="manufacturer[]"
value=<?php $manufacturer ?>>

<input name="manufacturer[]" type="hidden" multiple id="manufacturer[]"
value=<?php echo $manufacturer ?>>

<input name="manufacturer[]" type="hidden" multiple id="manufacturer[]"
value="<?php $manufacturer ?>">

<input name="manufacturer[]" type="hidden" multiple id="manufacturer[]"
value="$manufacturer">

<input name="manufacturer[]" type="hidden" multiple id="manufacturer[]"
value=$manufacturer>

Except for the last two entries, in the URL, the others all passed
"...&manufacturer%5B%5D=Array..."

When analyzing the variable on the results page, I wind up with
$manufacturer equaling an array with one element equaling "Array"...

Array ( [0] => Array )

Any suggestions?

Thanx,
