I'm new at SQL, and am teaching myself. I hope this isn't too basic a question, but I can't find any reference to this and I'd like not to hunt-and-peck yet another issue, just this once.
I have a PHP array which is just a sequence of numbers: $ARA = [3,4,7,2,6]. I would like to stash this array in a column of a db, recalling and altering it from time to time. Of course, $ARA isn't a number of any sort. Is it a string? Do I need to dismantle it in PHP, re-assemble a string = "3,4,...6", then disassemble the string and reassemble an array once it's back in PHP? Any help will be deeply appreciated. Paul Freedman
