[thelist] PHP: How to include a variable in DB text?

[Mike Wernsing]

Check out the serialize() and unserialize() functions:

http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.unserialize.php

You need to serialize() the data, *then* addslashes(), then insert into the
database. When you pull it out, stripslashes() then unserialize().
