We are just looking into PHP/MYSQL and are looking to convert our existing database structures across to MySQL.
In many of our existing files, we use arrays within the definition, but I cannot find any reference to an equivalent in the Mysql \'Create Table\' section. We have successfully converted some of our \'simpler\' files but are now stuck over the array issue.
I am presuming it is possible so was hoping someone could point out the code for setting & reading / writing such a field.
I know a \'normal\' integer may be MyField INT(10), but how would I hold an array of integers. We also hold date arrays, is that even possible in MySQL?
Sorry if this is an obvious question, but we are struggling to prove to the \"powers that be\" that PHP/MYSQL is superior to our current setup. I don\'t think I could \"sell\" using 20 fields as a repacement for 1 array so I\'m hoping someone can shine a light to guide us.
We are all very new to this, none of us has past PHP/MySQL knowledge, just a smattering of C++ / javascript - so please be kind ;-)
Many thanks,
Colin K Heaps
