Storing PHP multi dimentional arrays in MySQL?

[Da_Big_Jeff]

So i've scripted a bit of PHP that uses a rather large multi dimentional array(at least 50 arrays with 10 plus values in each) and need to store it in a single entery in a MySQL table. How do I get the data into database and reconstruct the data into a PHP array from the MySQL database. I've had a little google for it and found something about seirializing (sp?) but many people are saying there are better ways.

Thanks that is exactly what I wanted. now why can't online tutorials be that succinct .
