Note Submitter: dr dot slump at cyteknt dot com ---- here is the JavaScript souce code to serialize JS variables into a PHP's unserialize friendly format. /***************************************** PHP compatible JS serializer by Dr.Slump, aka Iván Montes Sponsored by Cytek NT <www.cyteknt.com> based on the toSource extensions v1.0 by Bjørn Rosell www.prototypeDHTML.net *****************************************/ Number.prototype.toPHP=function() { if (Math.round(this) == this) return 'i:'+this+';'; //integer else return 'd:'+this+';'; //float } String.prototype.toPHP=function() { var s = this s=s.replace(/\\/g, "\\\\") s=s.replace(/\"/g, "\\\"") s=s.replace(/\n/g, "\\n") s=s.replace(/\r/g, "") return 's:'+s.length+':"'+s+'";'; } Boolean.prototype.toPHP=function() { if (variable == true) return 'b:1;'; else return 'b:0;'; } Function.prototype.toPHP=function() { return 'N;'; //returns a Null variable for functions } Array.prototype.toPHP=function() { var a=this var s = 'a:'+a.length+':{'; for (var i=0; i<a.length; i++) { s += 'i:'+i+';'+a[i].toPHP(); } s += '}'; return s } Object.prototype.toPHP=function() { var o=this if (o==null) return 'N;'; var s=''; var count=0; for (var item in o) { if (item=="toPHP") continue; count++; s += 's:'+item.length+':"'+item+'";'; if (o[item]==null) s +='N;'; else s += o[item].toPHP(); } s = 'a:'+count+':{'+s+'}'; return s } ================================ to serialize the JS variable just do: phpserialized = myvar.toPHP(); then just pass this data into PHP by a hidden form field and call PHP's unserialize() on it to build the variable into PHP. I'm looking for a function that makes the other way round, I mean, that serializes a PHP variable into a JS friendly format. If someone does it please let me know ;) ciao, ivan
