What are some streamline ways to pass objects from one PHP page to another?

What are some streamline ways to pass objects from one PHP page to another? Would creating a $_SESSION best fit this situation?

Thanks in advance,
Smccullough

UPDATE:
I’m messing around with the Facebook PHP SDK & trying to better my practical PHP knowledge. The object I want to pass would contain Facebook album IDs and the photo ID for the album cover. The size of this object could be as little as two album IDs and two photo IDs, or bigger than 1000 album and cover photo IDs. Completely depends on the user.

    You’ve got a few options:

    1. pass by url (get queries)
2. pass by post (hidden form fields)
3. pass by cookie
4. pass by session

    Without knowing any details of how big these objects of yours are, sessions are most likely the easiest, as they’re purely server-side. The only thing transmitted to the client is the session ID in a cookie.

    Anything else is roundtripped through the client and subject to being hacked/edited/stolen.
