Load / Save Array

[LewxX²]

I've made a function to load an array some years ago:
(creating an Array out of an variable with values separated by commas)

array1 =new Array()
function read(txt){
   t_le = txt.length; st=0;
   for (a=0; a<=t_le; a++){
      if (txt.slice(a, a+1) == ","){ // seperator
         array1.push(txt.slice(st, a));
         st = a+1; 
      }	
   }
}

my php save script: (very simple ^^)

<?php
  $fp=fopen ($filename,'w');
  fwrite($fp,"&variablename=".$variablefrom3dfa);
  fclose ($fp);
?>

I'm tired of copying my read function in every movie that loads an array from a textfile, so I wanna ask:

Is there a better/other way to load/save an array from/to a text file?

hmm can't edit my entry, so:
Is there a build-in function for things like that?

Other than the standard Actionscript Array methods for handling arrays of strings, i'm not sure of any better way to handle string arrays other than to use XML.

[LewxX²]

hmm I have no idea ho to do it?

Is there a function to convert an array to a string and back,
like in in PHP the serialize() and unserialize ()?

[Zoranan]

I'm new to PHP so i'm not going to be much help. Your scripts are impressive...
