hi,
i am currently scouring the web for a solution to this but thought i would try here as well ..
i have a text field in a mysql database
the textfield contains an array written out as
//--------------------
$array[0][1]="one";
$array[0][2]="two";
$array[0][3]="thre";
$array[1][1]="four";
$array[2][1]="five";
//--------------------
now i need to extract this from the db .. simple
and use it as an array for a function .. not as simple as i thought it would be
ie
$newarray =mysqlquery('etc','etc','etc')
and $newarray should be
$newarray[0][1]="one";
$newarray[0][2]="two";
$newarray[0][3]="thre";
$newarray[1][1]="four";
$newarray[2][1]="five";
elp?
cheers
brendan
