a simple noob question.

i’m sending a data which is object datatype to mysql (AMFPHP)…i really dont know wat datatype to select in the table to store it. i tried varchar and binary but it stores as ‘Array’…when the value is returned back to flash it returns as String datatype with value “Array”. i hope anyone can help me.

thanks in advance. 🙂
