Question

I am trying to insert print_r output into database?

In the database, the result is 1?

How to solve this problem?

<?php
    processLog(print_r($dataArray));

    function processLog($text) {
        global $process, $db, $groupID;

        print($text . "\n");

        $SQL = "INSERT INTO enable_log (process_id, process_date, group_id,  log_output, log_time)
               VALUES(:process_id, :process_date, :group_id, :log_output, now())";

        $q = $db->prepare($SQL);
        $q->bindValue(":process_id", $process['pid']);
        $q->bindValue(":process_date", $process['date']);
        $q->bindValue(":group_id", $groupID);
        $q->bindValue(":log_output", $text);
        $q->execute();
    }
?>

Instead of storing the output of print_r() (which you can do with @xzyfer ‘s answer), I would suggest using serialize() so that PHP can reverse the string back into a proper array if you ever need to pull it back out of the database.

processLog(serialize($dataArray));
