note 73296 added to function.unserialize

It took me a good hour to figure out why serialized data stored in mysql database would not unserialize. This is what I was trying to unserialize : a:4:{i:0;s:43:"Date_Format(dateEntree,'%Y%m%d')";} Addslashes did not work for me, I had to use : str_replace("'", "\'", $serializedData) in order to replace only sigle quotes and not double quotes, so I obtained this : a:4:{i:0;s:43:"Date_Format(dateEntree,\'%Y%m%d\')";} unserialize does not like single quotes. Hope it can help someome. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 74.57.245.169 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unserialize.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/73296 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73296/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73296/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73296/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73296/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73296/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73296/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/73296 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/73296 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
