I need to take an array that contains arrays and pass it back to
the script that asked for it using cURL. I have set
CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER to 1 so the data comes back to a variable
in the calling program.
The data is alphaneumeric and contains "@" as part of email
addresses.
I want to have the data back in an array or arrays in the calling
script.
I looked at serialize, but fear that the null bytes would not
transfer properly.
I looked at json_encode/decode but wonder about the options.
What would be the best way to move the data from the server back
to the cURL client ?

Generally the best way would be to use json. You could also do
something like serialize the data and then base64 encode the data.
Other ways are possible also, but more complicated.
