RE: [PHP-DB] array issue
Hey, That's what we're here for :) As for serialize? It's a great function if you need to preserve an array in its original form. Useful for sending back and forth between pages in the URL. Though, I'd never use on an open URL for the general public. Maybe in an Administration system not seen by many users.

RE: [PHP-DB] array issue
Good point and nice find, Jeff! I wasn't sure where he was going with the data.. was he trying to save the actual array, intact, for say a chaching exercise or did he want to insert the contents of that array into a file?

RE: [PHP-DB] array issue
This may or may not make sense for your issue. but if you have the whole array in memory you can serialize() it and write the string that the function returns to the file. $fp = fopen("yourfilename.txt", "w"); $my_array_s = serialize($my_array); if (isset($fp)) { fwrite($fp, $my_array_s); } //to get it back into the same array as it was written, use $fp_cache = fopen("yourfilename.txt", "r") or die("can't open file"); $fp_readc = fread($fp_cache, filesize("yourfilename.txt"); $my_array_new = unserialize($fp_readc); the data is exactly as it was returned from the db after you looped through the record set. another idea. --http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php hth jeff "Aaron Wolski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]To: "'OpenSource'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "'PHP-DB'" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> z.com> cc: Subject: RE: [PHP-DB] array issue 08/17/2003 11:33 AM First, are you sure there is data in $my_array?
