Thread: PHP arrays and postgresql

This may not be the best place to ask the question, but I've already searched
the PHP archive and code snippet sites.

I'm trying to find a way to store and then retrieve a PHP array in
my pg database.

Has anyone written some code to do this?

If you mean as one value, look into the serialise() function - that's probably
what you want.
If not, can you explain a little more?

Serialize is just what I was looking for but not coming up with.
(My 18 year old son just got a kick out of the answer, he doesn't know
PHP but when I was explaining the problem to him last night he said,
"You mean like 'serialize' in Javascript?")

Thanks to everyone who responded.
