note 32970 rejected from function.unserialize by didou

Note Submitter: saltymeat@hotmail.com ---- Notice this part from the documentation for unserialize(): "In the case the passed string is not unserializeable, FALSE is returned." Thinking of it that way, this example can show a problem with booleans: $mybool = false; $serialized = serialize($mybool); $unserialized = unserialize($serialized); Looks innocent enough; however, considering this function returns false on failure, does that mean that the value that was serialized was false, or the function itself failed? From what I can tell, there's no way to determine what really happened (this is where Java-style exceptions can come in handy).
