Unserialize stopped working after php & db upgrade

Hi folks Bit of a major panic - any help MUCH appreciated. I have been storing serialized arrays in MySQL Gemini tables without any problems. But with Gemini looking more and more like a dead duck, I decided to take the server down and port from Gemini to InnoDB. I also took the opportunity to upgrade from php 4.1 to php 4.2.2 Now, when I run unserialize( ) on the serialized arrays, the strings are being returned unchanged. No error - they are simply passing through unserialize( ) without being altered. It is not a backslash issue, as there are no escaped characters in the strings affected, nor are the strings urlencoded. I have no idea how to go about fixing this and I am under serious pressure to get the server back up ASAP - so I am very much hoping that to get a response from the list. -- Geoff Caplan Advantae Ltd mailto:geoff@advantae.com http://www.advantae.com
