I've swapped out a textbox to be a multi-select list for a front end form and changed the name of the field to an array. It basically looks like this:

<select size="10" name="options[]" multiple="multiple">
<option>Option 1</option>
<option>Option 2</option>
<option>Option 3</option>
<option>Option 4</option>
<option>Option 5</option>
</select>

My question is, which file and lines do I need to change in order to serialize my array so I can save it to a string field in my DB table?

Thank you.

For starters it's just so easy to design an app in a way that I'm used to i.e. database first then views followed by customization. The fork system is pure brilliance from a developer standpoint as I can override things and still add and update my projects with minimal effort! Truly amazing to be able to build components in Joomla using incremental refinement without having to do everything by hand. Thanks for the great tool! I am so much more productive now than ever and I can't imagine building components any other way!!!!
