note 93389 added to function.unserialize

My first post on php.net. Hope someone finds it helpfull. These few functions will serialize and unserialize arrays and objects. It works recursively too. I call them "might_..." because they test to see if any action is required. function might_serialize($val){ if(is_object($val)){ $obj_keys = array_keys(get_object_vars($val)); foreach($obj_keys as $k){ $val->$k = might_serialize($val->$k); } $val = serialize($val); } if(is_array($val)){ foreach($val as &$v){ $v = might_serialize($v); } $val = serialize($val); } return $val; } function might_unserialized($val){ //$pattern = "/.*\{(.*)\}/"; if(is_serialized($val)){ $ret = unserialize($val); foreach($ret as &$r){ $r = might_unserialized($r); } return $ret; }else { return $val; } } function is_serialized($val){ if (!is_string($val)){ return false; } if (trim($val) == "") { return false; } //if (preg_match("/^(i|s|a|o|d)(.*);/si",$val)) { return true; } if (preg_match("/^(i|s|a|o|d):(.*);/si",$val)) { return true; } return false; } ---- Server IP: 72.55.140.6 Probable Submitter: 24.68.245.110 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.unserialize.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/93389 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93389/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93389/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93389/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93389/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93389/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93389/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/93389 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/93389 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
