# Storing multiple selection as an array…

 * When using FF for user registration, multiple selections stored in the DB as 
   a string.
    Is there a way to convert it to an array, which would make it editable
   on the front end…
 * EXAMPLE
 * Currently, selection ONE, TWO, THREE as user_meta_field is stored as ONE, TWO,
   THREE
 * What would be really useful is to store it as:
 * a:3:{i:0;s:3:”ONE”;i:1;s:3:”TWO”;i:2;s:5:”THREE”;}
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Hello Eugene,
    I am afraid it is not possible, you can fetch and convert them
   into an array using PHP. Thanks
