Column Data-Type For Storing Serialized Array In MySQL?
I'm really not sure - I used BLOB in the past- but the arrays are only a few kilobytes. But VARHCAR only allows 255 characters at most and the arrays might contain many more characters than that.

Storing Mysql Connection Data
We run a pretty large site (about 18000 pages) and we use mysql data a lot. The problem is that right now every file that has to connect to the db has it's own $conn statment. Which means the db_name and password are repeated a million times! So, if we ever wanted to change the password it would take a lifetime. One way to correct this is to creat a file mysql_info.php in the root and then include it in pages that require the information. Problem is that we would need to write the "bread crums" for every file... For example, if file test.php in root/folder 1/folder 2/folder 3 needed the mysql_info.php then it has to be called as include "../../../mysql_info.php"; . is there an easier way?

PHP Upload ! Storing Image Data In MySQL
I am at my wit's end ! I have used the following script succesfully to upload an image to my web space. But what I really want to be able to do is to update an existing record in a table in MySQL with the path & filename to the image. I have successfully uploaded and performed an update query on the database, but the problem I have is I cannot retain the primary key field in a variable which is then used in a SQL update statement to ensure that I update the correct field in the MySQL table.

Combining Serialized Data
I have some data I want to serialize but I want to combine them. something like serialize($data1).serialize($data2) and then later on I need to deserialize them back into two seperate variables. I'm not sure how I can go about this? Obviously I could seperate them by some token and use that but I'm not sure how safe it is. Is there a better method? or a token that I know I can used. I guess I could do something like this $str = serialize(array(serialize($data1), serialize($data2))) then $t = unserialize($str); $data1 = unserialize($t[0]); $data2 = unserialize($t[1]); but seems like the long way around?

Serialized Array That Is Stored In Db
I have an serialized array that is stored in db and I can get the data printed out by doing this: PHP Code: $array = unserialize($mydata); foreach($array as $key => $value) { echo """.$key."" => "".$value."", "; } Now, when it prints out I get this: Quote: "var1" => "item1", "var2" => "item3", "var3" => "Array", So there's another array in the data as a value for var3. How do I get that array to print out as well?

Storing Leading Zeros In Mysql Int And Varchar Data Types
This issue is more of a MySQL issue than php. I am trying to store a 5 digit integer and a 9 character varchar field in a table. Both have to be able to take values with a leading zero such as 02130 or 089fg7agf. I am successfully storing the data however the stored data loses the zero at the beginning in both cases. I thought about perhaps using a float data type, however for the varchar value that wouldn't work.

Mysql And Serialized Php Objects?Q
following problem: I use a mysql query string like $arg= " insert into ".$sometable; $arg.=" (id, col1) "; $arg.="values ( '$this->id', '$data' ) "; ^^^^^^ $data is a product of serialize($some_object) The serialization has many different symbols and I experience problems from MySQL. I have tried to use just another string or the base64-variant of my serialized object and it works! So, is there some more elegant way of saving objects as strings than encoding them after serialization.

Storing Array In A Row
I run a site with staff-submitted reviews, and most of them are written by one author. However, we also do "multiple" reviews. Up until now I just had a userid for a 'Multiple' account and submitted them under that, but this makes it harder to print lists of all the reviews by one person, so ideally I wanna make a multiple select form so we can just select all the contributors and have the values saved in the database - in one row (something like "56,34,21" etc). I've coded a multiple select form with all the authors of articles for my site on, and I want to store the results of this in one row so I can grab them as an array later - how can I go about doing this? I just googled and came across using <select name="author[]"> in my HTML, and then using serialize() to process it, but it fails. When I run the following code, the value for 'multiplearray' remains at 0 whether I select single OR multiple values on the form: <?php $dbhost = ### $dbuser = ### $dbpass = ### $dbname = ### $conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('Error connecting to mysql'); mysql_select_db($dbname); if(isset($_POST['save'])) { $author = serialize($_POST['author']); $query = "INSERT INTO review_test (multiplearray) VALUES ('$author')"; mysql_query($query) or die('Error ,query failed'); echo "Query successful!"; } echo "<form name='test' method='post' action=''>"; $query2 = "SELECT Staff_id, displayname FROM users WHERE userlevel !=0 ORDER BY username"; $result2 = mysql_query($query2) or die('Error : ' . mysql_error()); echo "<select name='author[]' id='author[]' multiple='multiple' size=ཆ'>"; while($row2 = mysql_fetch_array($result2, MYSQL_NUM)) { list($Staff_id, $displayname) = $row2; echo "<option value='$Staff_id'>$displayname</option>"; } echo "</select>"; echo "<br><br><input name='save' type='submit' id='save' value='Post Review'>"; echo "</form>"; ?>

Storing Data In Session
Have a question about storing data in session. I have a blog site with users of course. Instead of having to make a call to getUserData() each time I want user data inside a function (or defining it globally) I thought about storing the data in a session variable and doing one of two things. Keeping that throughout the lifetime of the session, and only re-querying if a change has been made since the request was pulled (Date field in the user table of last_modified) or just storing it in session and un setting the data each page. Not sure which (if any) is better. Most likely there will be about 20 fields stored, username, email, and some options the user is able to set which should only be boolean variables. I think storing it in session and testing against the timestamp would work great but before I start coding this for my whole site would like to know some input.

Storing Voting Data
I am introducing a voting system and I can't figure out (well anyway) how to store the results of each proposal. Registered users can vote on proposals, this vote needs to be recorded somehow. I'm guessing a list of users and their vote attached to the moderation somehow in the MySQL voting table, or alternatively attach to each user what they have voted on. Either way I'm not sure how to add a list of users to a particular ID of an SQL row, the only way I can see doing that is having an array of users in a row, but I don't think MySQL supports arrays like that?
