Store associative array into Mysql..

[jamz310]

I have an array with valid data - example using print_r :

[type_service] => Array
(
[0] => UPS
[1] => USPS
[2] => Fedex
)

Also -

<? $ts=serialize($_REQUEST['type_service']); ?>
<? echo $ts ?>;

Shows this data : a:3:{i:0;s:3:"UPS";i:1;s:4:"USPS";i:2;s:5:"Fedex";}

Also -

<? $type = implode(' ',$_REQUEST['type_service']); ?>
<? echo $type ?>;

Shows this data : UPS USPS Fedex

The data is there...

I'm not familier with the storing process. Everything method I try to use stores the data as 'array' in to table and not the actual contents of the array. I tried implode , serialize etc...

I have this in my part of the Mysql insert statement VALUES:

.(implode(",",$_REQUEST['type_service'])). which stores nothing....

I'm probably not using the correct syntax or something. Anyone have a snippet of code / example I could look at?

thanks..
