Here you go, free to the world. My contribution to help deal with serialized data that contains
backslashes. Add these two functions to your code:
bs_shuffle(&$variable);
function bs_shuffle($in) {
$in=preg_replace('/\\/', '#BS#', $in);
}
function bs_unshuffle($in) {
$in=preg_replace('/#BS#/', '\\', $in);
}
Now, your variables will have *no* backslashes in them when you serialize them. Run
bs_shuffle(&$var) (don't forget the "&"), then serialize($var)... when you
retrieve it later, you can bs_unshuffle(&$var) and it's back to its backslashed self.
--was--
Ok, I'm an idiot... :) Here are the correct functions for shuffling backslashes; they should
still be called with "&" in front of the variable passed to them; that is,
bs_shuffle(&$variable);
function bs_shuffle($in) {
$in=preg_replace('/\\/', '#BS#', $in);
}
function bs_unshuffle($in) {
$in=preg_replace('/#BS#/', '\\', $in);
}
