Question

how I can use array in cell related with another table in database like ?

Users table:

Name | languages_id
Anas | 1,2,3

Languages table:

id | language
1  | English
2  | Arabic

it’s work or not ?! and do you know what can I use in yii to do this ?

Answer 1

Don’t do this.

Don’t store mutiple items as comma separated column, it is really bad.

You should keep your tables normalized, by creating a new table UsersLanguages as a many to many table between the USERS and Languages table. Somrthing like this:

Users:

• UserId,
• UserName,
• … other details.

Languages:

• LanguageId,
• LanguageName,
• …

UserLanguages:

• UserId foreign key references Users(UserId),
• LanguageId foreign kery references Languages(LanguageId).
