I have an array which fetches from mysql, this is the array:

$results[$i] = array('studno' => $row[0], 'name' => $row[1], 'surname' => $row[2], 'cell' => $row[3], 'email' => $row[4], 'course' => $course, 'campus' => $campus, 'img' => $row[7]);

It goes on a results page viewing 5 results at a time, now i want to pass the array back to itself when a person hits next page so they can view say results 5-10, then again for 10-15 etc.

I have seen it mentioned that you can implode the array and assign it to a hidden input variable on the form, and then explode it back into an array. i have tried this but it does not come up with the correct information, just a whole lot of single charactered values for each item.

How would i be able to pass this array ?

You can use arrays in html just by setting the input element's names to the array values.

For example, we have this array
$myarray = array('thing1'=>'value1', 'thing2'=>'value2');

to represent this in html you'd have:
<input type="hidden" name="htmlarray['thing1']" value="value1"/>
<input type="hidden" name="htmlarray['thing2']" value="value2"/>


Now when you want to read this back in on the page you submitted to, just do:
$myarray = $_POST['htmlarray'];

now $myarray in the second page is the same as the first! Piece of cake!

You can do this with multi-dimensional arrays too.
ala:
<input type="hidden" name="htmlarray['dim1key1']['dim2key1']" value="Value-For-Dimension1Key1-Dimension2key1""/>
