Custom field arrays lost after database export/import during move of installatio

I have had this problem on a multiple sites for a specific type of uploader I have been using. Normally it’s just a page or two that needs manual updates so I haven’t tried to fix it.

Basically I have a dynamic uploader that stores values in an array. Everything works flawlessly until I export the DB for the move to production location. Custom fields store normally, one value per variable import fine but the multiple value arrays seem to get lost.

Here is the code for the uploader if that helps.

Really I just want avoid spending about 4-5 hours manually filling the fields on the new site after the db transfer. I know it will happen if I don’t figure out this problem. Thanks!
