Values from an array, putting into database.

[Northern Flame]

I have values from an array which are a numbered values.

for example:

$array = array(1, 45, 67, 22, 86);

 

i want to put them into a column of my database like this:

 

1,45,67,22,86

 

just like that, all the numbers in the same column but separated

by commas.

 

how will i do that? will it be something like this:

 

$sql = "UPDATE table SET numbers = '";

foreach($array as $val){

$sql .= "$val,";

}

 

$sql .= "' WHERE id='$id'";

 

mysql_query($sql);

 

is there a smarter way of doing this?

or is that the correct way?

For a one dimensional array, use the implode() function:

 

$array = array('lastname', 'email', 'phone');

$comma_separated = implode(",", $array);

echo $comma_separated; // lastname,email,phone
