[PHP] MySQL and PHP arrays
Is there a generally recommended way of storing an array created by PHP
in a MySQL database field ?
What type of field should it be, and how do you get the whole array
back in one go without reconstructing it row by row, if that is
possible?

serialize() and unserialize().

Any text field will do, just make sure it's large enough for your data.

RE: [PHP] MySQL and PHP arrays
Serializing it would be the best way: seralize($myArray)
then you can get the array back using unseralize($serializedarray)

Thanks that now makes much more sense. So when I look at the data in
the database I see
a:142:{i:1;s:52:[52characters];i:2;s:37:[37characters] and so on for
the 142 elements of the array.
But getting it out is not so easy.
$result = mysql_query( select post from posts where id = '$id' )
Gives $result as a Resource id #6 which is OK but I cant find the PHP
MySQL command to get the whole field back to unserialize it :(

Re: [PHP] MySQL and PHP arrays
You get at the data through $array = mysql_result($result,0,0);

RE: [PHP] MySQL and PHP arrays
mysql_fetch_array($result) works too. It fetches the data from the current row and is
used in conjunction with a while loop:
while($array=mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
//stuff to do with the current array
}
