Implode()?

[lukeurtnowski]

I’m trying to insert an array into a mysql database
heres my array
[amenities] => Array
(
[0] => 1

So I’ll use the implode() to convert the array into a comma seperated string

$amenities = implode(",",$_POST['amenities[]']);

If you find yourself needing to store an array in a database its advisable to use a child table so that the data stored therein can be searched.

If it needs to be searched. No sense in decoupling data that would never be searched on (ie: preference settings).
