WDDX

Stig, you mentioned you would have a look at the wddx_unserialize() function with respect to the XML aspect. Are you still planning on doing that in the near future? I want to get an interactive demo set up between CF, ASP, Perl, Python and PHP with apps all sending data back and forth to each other. The current state of the PHP implementation looks like this: $a = 1; $b = "abc"; $str = wddx_serialize(array("a" => $a, "b" => $b)); unset($a); unset($b); $str = '$tmp = '.wddx_unserialize($str).";"; eval($str); while(list($k,$v)=each($tmp)) { $$k=$v; } echo $a; echo $b; This correctly serializes and deserializes $a and $b. But it is a rather ugly way of doing it. I would prefer to have it look more like this: $a = 1; $b = "abc"; $str = wddx_serialize($a,$b); unset($a); unset($b); wddx_unserialize($str); echo $a; echo $b; Perhaps an optional argument on wddx_unserialize() which tells the function what to do if any of the variables it is about to create already exists. Like a no clobber flag. And perhaps also a rename option. eg. wddx_unserialize($str) /* default - overwrite existing vars */ wddx_unserialize($str,1) /* do not overwrite existing vars */ wddx_unserialize($str,2) /* rename to $wddx_a and $wddx_b */ Any thoughts or suggestions? -Rasmus -- PHP Development Mailing List http://www.php.net/ To unsubscribe send an empty message to php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For help: php-dev-help@lists.php.net
