First of all, thanks for the serialize pointer in an earlier thread.
That looks like it's the ticket.

Now, I have a style/php question. (I am a C hacker by background, and
thus everything is a loop... But PHP is different...)

OK, I write out my array and read it back in. It comes in thus:

Array (
[currentField] => 103
[brgf1] => 0.000000
[brgt1] => 1.000000
[axa1] => 1
[brgf2] => 2.000000
[brgt2] => 2.000000
[axa2] => 2
[axb2] => 2
[axc2] => 2
[axd2] => 2
[brgf3] => 2.000000
[brgt3] => 3.000000
[axa3] => 2
[axb3] => 2
[axc3] => 2
[axd3] => 2

.....
.....
)

Basically each line consists of two bearings and 4 true/false switches.
The line number in the schedule is apended to the name of the field.

In my C mind, this calls for a loop, bruteforcing our way and appending
the counter to each name....

But I *know* there is a more elegant PHP way to do this. While it makes
sense in C, it just looks fugly in PHP....

As I use PHP to generate the field names, I can change those if it makes
things easier....

Thanks,
