note 83415 added to function.unserialize

One thing to note - if you're storing your serialized string in a MySQL TEXT field, it will remove the {s and }s that make your string valid for unserialization. I almost killed myself figuring this out - I'm sure it's basic but I had to post my solution - encode the serialized string in base 64. $mood = array('angry','sad','happy'); $storable = base64_encode(serialize($mood)); then when you retrieve it from the database, you can access the string with $mood=base64_decode(unserialize($storable)); ---- Server IP: 64.71.164.2 Probable Submitter: 24.166.8.103 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unserialize.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/83415 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83415/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83415/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83415/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83415/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83415/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83415/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/83415 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/83415 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
