Answer 1

Try json_encode:

<input type="hidden" name="hdnTotal" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(json_encode($gtot)); ?>">
<input type="hidden" name="hdnOrder" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars(json_encode($order)); ?>">
<input type="submit" value="Place Order">

and for get it back, json_decode:

print(json_decode($_POST['hdnOrder']));

The bonus of this solution is that you will able to manipulate your array at client side easily with JavaScript.

But why do you want to do that ?

If it is not for manipulate your data at client side, you create an an unnecessary round trip of your data, that you can easily keep at server side with PHP sessions.
