Multiple arrays inside data


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

Hi,

Simple question. I have a column called "array" in my database, and inserted into each field is the following imploded array:
Code: mctriangle,570.65,355.1,1,1,0
Did you know?Explore Trending and Topic pages for more stories like this.

It is an instance of an object. Each field in each row contains this information as an imploded array.

[0] = Name
[1] = X Axis
[2] = Y Axis
[3] = ScaleX
[4] = ScaleY
[5] = Rotation

When extracted from the database, it is exploded back into the array above.

As you can see, I would need to store a lot of rows for each object. Say we use 200 objects, thats 200 rows, which would be hard to search through.

My question is: Could I store multiple imploded arrays inside 1 row only. E.g:

mctriangle,570.65,355.1,1,1,0&&mctriangle,570.65,355.1,1,1,0&&mctriangle,570.65,355.1,1,1,0&&mctriangle,570.65,355.1,1,1,0&&mctriangle,570.65,355.1,1,1,0

The above would be 5 objects in one row of data, each imploded array separated by &&. How would I go about doing such a thing?

Thanks!
