note 14111 added to function.serialize.php

BEWARE: if you serialize to store values on a database, and the variables you are serializing already have the " (double-quote) char, you may have a problem. After serializing you will have var delimiters as " and content " (double-quotes) escaped, but your databse may just treat them like the same. You end up with a failed unserialize. You want something like: a:5:{s:9:"this is a \"quote\"";a:1:{s:(ETC) And not: a:5:{s:9:"this is a "quote"";a:1:{s:(ETC) So just make sure you double escape content quotes ... It's simple, but i can't explain it any simpler =( http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php
