New Comment:
sorry, my serialized array is not correct (i edit this array to not to
be so long), your example work for me, but still some differences in
work with serialized string
I found this in serialized string.
php 4.0.6
...array_key;s:3:"txt" -> serialized string - work
...array_key;s:0:"" -> string withour value - work
...array_key;i:1; -> serialized integer - work
...array_key;i:; -> integer without value - work
php 4.2.2
...array_key;s:3:"txt" -> serialized string - work
...array_key;s:0:"" -> string withour value - work
...array_key;i:1; -> serialized integer - work
...array_key;i:; -> integer without value - FALSE
this correspond to this unworking array (4.2.2), working (4.0.6) with
integer without values:
a:1:{s:3:"fas";a:6:{s:10:"mkey_index";s:3:"fas";s:9:"save_type";i:1;s:
6:"German";i:;s:7:"English";i:;s:6:"Slovak";i:;s:5:"Czech";i:;}}
___________________________________________________________
I don't know if this is bug, now. I can't create this array with
declaration array( ... ). In strict rules it is not bug, it is correct
work.
Only backwards compatibility maybe.
Thank you for solve this problem!

Could verify this with PHP 4.3.0-dev 2002-07-31 on Compaq Tru64:
$test_array =
'a:1:{s:12:"fas";a:6:{s:10:"mkey_index";s:12:"fas";s:9:"save_typ
e";i:1;s:6:"German";i:;s:7:"English";i:;s:6:"Slovak";i:;s:5:"Czech";i:;}}';
$result_array = unserialize($test_array);
print_r($result_array);
Returns nothing.
On the same machine this works:
$array = array(1,2,3,9,7,4,5,12,"lala"=>array("test"=>1,2,3,3));
$serialized_array = serialize($array);
print_r($serialized_array);
$result_array = unserialize($serialized_array);
print_r($array);
print_r($result_array);
Results as expected in:
Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
[2] => 3
[3] => 9
[4] => 7
[5] => 4
[6] => 5
[7] => 12
[lala] => Array
(
[test] => 1
[0] => 2
[1] => 3
[2] => 3
)
)
Array
(
[0] => 1
[1] => 2
[2] => 3
[3] => 9
[4] => 7
[5] => 4
[6] => 5
[7] => 12
[lala] => Array
(
[test] => 1
[0] => 2
[1] => 3
[2] => 3
)
)
Are you shure, your serialized Array is correct?

I try unserialize array and everything goes nice when the array has all
elements filled. When one of element is empty unserialize returns
false
More specific:
PHP 4.0.6
"""""""""
a:1:{s:12:"fas";a:6:{s:10:"mkey_index";s:12:"fas";s:9:"save_type";i:1;s:6:"German";i:;s:7:"English";i:;s:6:"Slovak";i:;s:5:"Czech";i:;}}
unserialize returns array where empty elements are replaced by 0
___________________________________________________________
PHP 4.2.2
"""""""""
a:1:{s:12:"fas";a:6:{s:10:"mkey_index";s:12:"fas";s:9:"save_type";i:1;s:6:"German";i:;s:7:"English";i:;s:6:"Slovak";i:;s:5:"Czech";i:;}}
unserialize returns false (if no empty elements, unserialize returns
correct array)
