[Mancent]

Ok I have the following fields set up in my sql table

Id
Name
Pic

email

and the array looks like this
 

Array
(
    [id] => 100001957015772
    [name] => Robert Puckett
    [picture] => Array
        (
            [data] => Array
                (
                    [height] => 0
                    [is_silhouette] => 
                    [url] => https://fbcdn-profile-a.akamaihd.net/hprofile-ak-frc1/t1.0-1/c8.0.50.50/p50x50/10251949_622143917860836_1398143136845301890_s.jpg
                    [width] => 0
                )

        )

I want to store that array in to MySQL table named user_info but I do not know how! Can you guys help me and teach me how to learn arrays?

You shouldn't. You should have a unique field for each piece of data. So, if you want to store the values for height, width, url & is_silhouette then you should create unique fields for each of them.

Ok thank you. So how do I convert a array into fields in php example: Im going to search for it on the web. but any example would be awesome.

You don't need to convert the array. Just use the right array field in the right places when creating the query

 

 

$query = "INSERT INTO table_name
              (id, name, email, height, width, url, is_silhouette)
          VALUES
              ('{$array['id']}', '{$array['name']}', '{$array['email']}',
               '{$array['picture']['data']['height']}', '{$array['picture']['data']['width']}',
               {$array['picture']['data']['url']}, {$array['picture']['data']['is_silhouette']})";

 

However, if you have data in an array, you should definitely look into prepared statements where you can pass the array to a function to do the insert. You would need to flatten the array however so the data is not is a sub-array,

Really that's all..

 

So you can also just echo $array['id'] or any of the other fields in the array

That's cool if that's true.
