Currenlty, session management has such functionality, but this functionality is not exposed to the programmer to be done outside of using a session. I propose there be a pickle/unpickle function that uses the same serialization method that the session managment uses. Reproduce code: --------------- $foo = array(1, 2, 3) $string = pickle($foo); echo $string; $bar = unpickle($foo); echo $bar; print_r($bar); Expected result: ---------------- a:3:{i:0;i:1;i:1;i:2;i:2;i:3;} Array Array ( [0] => 1 [1] => 2 [2] => 3 ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26637&edit=1
