note 75773 deleted from function.unserialize by aharvey

Note Submitter: steve at bluearena dot com ---- To getmequick at gmail dot com Your outstanding preg_replace <? php $unserialized = preg_replace('!s:(\d+):"(.*?)";!se', "'s:'.strlen('$2').':\"$2\";'", $unserialized ); ?> helped me out of a hole after converting a database from latin1 to UTF8 and forgetting about how strict the strlen of serialized strings needs to be! I just added the s modifier for it to be able to support whitespace and it fixed everything. Thanks a million.
