So the bug is in serialize() ? What are you doing with $basketarray in between serializing and unserializing it? Are you by any chance storing it in a database and retreiving it (and is magic_quotes_runtime On?)? Or passing it between pages as a GET parameter (and is magic_quotes_gpc On?)? In any case, it looks like the serialized value is getting addslashes()-ed, so you need to stripslashes() it before unserialize()-ing it. Cheers!
