note 57676 added to function.serialize

My thanks to the editor who pointed out the serialization bug. According to the bug report, this should be fixed in version 5.0.4, and is confirmed fixed in v 5.0.5. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to update my installation, but I found that passing the serialized string through addslashes before saving it to the database does the trick. It may be a bit inefficient, but it works. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57676 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57676&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57676&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57676&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57676&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57676&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57676&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57676&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57676&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
