note 61675 added to function.serialize

I recently had a problem inserting serialized array in mysql DB using PEAR DB_Base class functions. mySQL fails to insert the serialized array because the serialized data contains semicolon. A way to solve that problem is to make same changes to the serialized data: $serializeorder = serialize($order); $serializeorder = preg_replace("#;#msi",'0x3B',$serializeorder); $serializeorder = preg_replace("/(\n)|(\r)/"," ",$serializeorder); $serializeorder = addcslashes($serializeorder, "\0..\37!@\@\177..\377"); $serializeorder = addslashes($serializeorder); Here we substitute the semicolon with it's hex. We alse get rid of cariage return. Remember to make the vise versa substitution again when extracting the data. ---- Server IP: 217.75.128.29 Probable Submitter: 213.91.220.158 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+61675 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61675&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61675&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61675&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61675&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61675&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61675&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+61675&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+61675&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
