This code (from above):
<?
$array[0]=addslashes("a");//it doesn't work if you remove the addslashes()
$array[1]=addslashes("b");
$array[2]=addslashes("c");
echo serialize($array);
?>
Returns:
a:3:{i:0;s:1:"a";i:1;s:1:"b";i:2;s:1:"c";}
... and so does the same code without addslashes():
<?
$array[0]="a";
$array[1]="b";
$array[2]="c";
echo serialize($array);
?>
Returns:
a:3:{i:0;s:1:"a";i:1;s:1:"b";i:2;s:1:"c";}
Possibly you need addslashes() if your values contain ' or " but I never needed it (if
"magic quotes" is on). In such a case you could just use addslashes() on the serialized
string.
