note 40757 deleted from function.unserialize by aharvey

Note Submitter: ---- If a a string is unserializeable FALSE is returned as well as an E_NOTICE error. This is odd since you may want to know if a given string converts back to a PHP value and act accordingly. If you run your script with E_ALL reporting this will show up. I noticed this debugging this line of code: $b = unserialize(base64_decode($a)); Curiously, base64_decode() does not throw errors if the string can't be decoded. The only workaround is to prepend the @ operator to unserialize() or to change the error level.
