note 91371 added to function.serialize

If you're serializing a small array of values and sending them from page to page for display/navigation purposes (versus storing them as session values) via $_GET, save yourself some time and ensure your php.ini magic_quotes_gpc values are set the same on your hosting and localhost severs. In my case I had magic_quotes_gpc OFF locally, and it took a while to see why the values weren't unserializing properly (actually at all -- unserialize produced FALSE) on the action page (form action page) of the hosted version. A quick look at phpinfo() showed a difference -- Thanks to others mentioning use of magic_quotes when saving to mysql triggered a thot that this mismatch might cause the problem. ---- Server IP: 208.69.120.35 Probable Submitter: 76.22.70.234 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/91371 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91371/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91371/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91371/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91371/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91371/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91371/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/91371 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/91371 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
