It depends...
but don't worry, this is a fairly common assumption, so we can quickly sort it out for you.
First some
questions:
Do you want to fit the elements of the array into successive columns across a single row of the
MySQL table, or
do you want each of the array elements to be stored into separate rows in the table?
Are we talking about a one dimensional array, two, or more?
What is the MySQL table schema?
Please advise,
