use "serialize". you need to create a table with 2 fields, key & value, where value is a largetext field. $str = serialize($array); mysql_query("insert into table1 (key, value) as ($key, $str)"); then you can select it back out of mysql and use $result = mysql_query("select...."); $array = unserialize($result[0]->value); pardon if the php doesn't work, i'm just typing it off the top of my head "Disko_kex" <disko_kex@swedish-mushroom.com> wrote in message 000001c367ec$f7b28340$e900a8c0@lokalguirdcfee">news:000001c367ec$f7b28340$e900a8c0@lokalguirdcfee... > If I have a normal array like "Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 3 [2] => 82 )" , > and want to store the array in a mysql table and then want to use it. > How can I do? > > // jocke > -- PHP Windows Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
