Serialization is a method for making an object persistent in an OO language. You serialize the object and the use it later. PHP is still not so OO but still the serialization is a method to store data, in this case an array. I serialize an array, store it someplace then unserialize the data and get back my array. It is really useful because I can have arrays in arrays, different data types... almost everything.
