Hi All- I don't think that this is possible but maybe through some custom function perhaps? I am storing data in a database, and it is an Array (in PHP) so I serialized it for storage. I want to be able to query that data and be able to do something like WHERE thisField = 'john'. the field 'thisField' though would need to be pointing to the first element in the Array, which I don't think is possible. Has anyone run into this before? Thanks, Matt -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
