Hi there. I want to save a variable (its structure and data) in MySQL. I know the function "serialize(mixed value)", wich generates a storable representation of a value. This storable representation has characters like "{" and ":" (when talking about arrays). So, how can I store this in MySQL? Wich type of field do I have to create in de DB? I tried the "longtext" type, but it doesn't work. Any help? Thanks.
