Re: session_decode from session handler

PHP passed $data to my write($id) function, and then I wrote it to the database. In the code below, I have retrieved it from the database. I presume that it used encode_session to generate $data. I tried calling unserialize() on it for good measure, but it wasn't able to parse the data. When I return $data from my method, though, PHP is able to turn it into a $_SESSION.

If it's just serialized data, you can simply call unserialize instead of session_decode.
