Hello Jaxon,
use serialize() & unserialize() as follows:
$store_in_file=serialize(your_array);
//and store the details of $store_in_file in your file/database.
//while retrieving read the data from file/database into store_in_file and
then use the following.
$retrieve_from_file=unserialize($store_in_file);
$retrieve_from_file will be similar to "your_array"
read the php4.0 & greater manual you will find these functions to be very
helpful..
hope this serves your purpose.
regards
Keyur
