How to update this array?

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

I am saving a string that looks this: username1, username2, username3...
into a single cell in a database table.
I am doing this so that when I retrieve that string using normal methods, I can turn it into an array.

However, my question is: I will need to update that cell and add user names to it. and then save it back to the database.
I don't have any example code as I haven't started because I am not sure where to start.

This is what I was thinking.

It will start out with one username "username1".
That is what the original value will be. I then need to pull that info out (easy) and populate an array

Code: $original = 'username1';
$userArray = array($original);
I then need to turn around and add 'username2' to $userArray. and add it to the DB so it is formatted as username1, username2, username3..
