[PHP] Hashes in text files

2002-05-03 Thread Rodrigo

Can I store Hashes in text files? If yes, how?
 
Can I store a  multi dimensional array in a text file? If not how should
I do to store the data in one file and the pointer in another file?
 
Thanx, Rodrigo

You can use serialize() on your array before you write to the file.

http://php.net/serialize

That function will turn any PHP data structure into something you can 
safely write to a file. Use unserialize to turn it back into its original 
form.

However, based on what you plan to do, it seems like a database would be a 
lot less work and a lot more efficient.
