how to write array in mysql?

[name.oleg]

i have a table 'models':

id, mark, model, description, language

 

and a table 'carimages':

id, mark, model, images

 

in the field models.description there is a description of a car and also a html <img> tags:

<a href='images/big_images/2102_1.JPG'><img src='images/big_images/2102_1.JPG' alt='2102' /></a>

<a href='images/big_images/2102_2.JPG'><img src='images/big_images/2102_2.JPG' alt='2102' /></a>

<a href='images/big_images/2102_3.JPG'><img src='images/big_images/2102_3.JPG' alt='2102' /></a>

<a href='images/big_images/2102_4.JPG'><img src='images/big_images/2102_4.JPG' alt='2102' /></a>

<a href='images/big_images/2102_5.JPG'><img src='images/big_images/2102_5.JPG' alt='2102' /></a>

<a href='images/big_images/2102_6.JPG'><img src='images/big_images/2102_6.JPG' alt='2102' /></a>

 

i need to find using reg.ex. those <img> tags in models.description field to write them in carimages.images

 

 

$h= mysql_query("select * from models") or die(mysql_error());

$pat="|<img[\s]*src=\'images\/big\_images\/([\_a-zA-Z\.0-9]+\.[a-zA-Z]{3,4})\'[\s]*alt=\'([\sa-zA-Z0-9]+)\'[\s]*\/>|isU";


while(list($id2, $cm2, $cmo2, $descr,$lang2) = mysql_fetch_array($h)){
$descr = str_replace('"', "'", $descr);
preg_match_all($pat, $descr, $myout);
//$che=implode("",$myout[0]);
$che = serialize($myout[0]);
mysql_query("insert into carimages values(0, '$cm2', '$cmo2', '$che')");
}

if i understand correctly i have to convert array in a string:

$che=implode("",$myout[0]);

or

$che = serialize($myout[0]);

 

right?

 

Array $myout[0] is not empty, reg.ex. works correctly but it writes nothing in carimages.images

 

What am i doing wrong?

[Carth]

As far as I'm aware, $myout is an array of strings, so $myout[0] is a string, therefore no need for serialize() or implode().

 

I don't know if there are other problems.

 

It might be better not to store HTML in the database like this, nor duplicate data - it needs normalising. But that's another matter and shouldn't prevent it from working.
