What about using WDDX, an open XML-format for interchanging
data (see http://www.openwddx.org/) ?
You then will be able to do this:
<?php
$c = array("blue", "orange", "violet");
$f = fopen("MyFile.wddx", "w");
fwrite($f, wddx_serialize_vars("c"));
fclose($f);
?>
To unserialize:
<?php
$fname = "MyFile.wddx";
$f = fopen($fname, "rb");
$packet = fread($f, filesize($fname));
$c = wddx_deserialize($packet);
fclose($f);
?>

Yep, you'll get the same array back...
