Note Submitter: eakolb at dygel dot nizzet ---- Apparently, unserialize is really picky about anyone messing with the serial string. Just spent an hour debugging why unserialize wasn't working on a serial string stored in a database where, per client requirement, all inserted data is strtoupper'd. Can't just strtolower on a serial string, though -- if there are null values in there (signified as N;), they must be upper case. The following call may be a bit convoluted, but it works. unserialize(preg_replace('/;n;/', ';N;', strtolower($serial))) Of course, if you have string data within that array, that'll get clobbered by the strtolower. In my case, I was dealing with integer values (aside from the key names). But this might save someone else out there a little trouble.
