HTML_Quickform unserialize insanity.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I'm having an issue passing a serialized array in HTML_QuickForm_Controller. This error seems to be completely illogical, and I can't figure it out, so I thought I would ask here for a little help. On page1, I have this... $bbnumber = $this->controller->exportValue('page0', 'bbnumber'); $result = $adsl_checker->CheckNumber($bbnumber); $resultField = $this->createElement('hidden', 'result'); $resultField->setValue(serialize($result)); $this->addElement($resultField); And on page8, I have this... $values = $this->controller->exportValues(); $moo = unserialize($values['result']); var_dump($moo) . " : end<hr />"; The output is false. If i var_dump($value['result']), this is what I get... string(1337) "a:17: {s:7:"ERRORID";s:1:"0";s:5:"INPUT";s:11:"REMOVED";s:9:"INPUTTYPE";s:5:"TELNO";s:9:"FIXEDRATE";s:1:"A";s:12:"RATEADAPTIVE";s:1:"A";s:10:"REASONCODE";s:1:"I";s:12:"EXCHANGECODE";s:5:"EAWDF";s:12:"EXCHANGENAME";s:15:"WOODHAM FERRERS";s:9:"READYDATE";s:1:" ";s:9:"EXCHSTATE";s:1:"E";s:7:"TRIGGER";s:0:"";s:4:"RTPC";s:1:"Y";s:8:"POSTCODE";s:7:"REMOVED";s:12:"CAPACITYHOME";s:1:" ";s:14:"CAPACITYOFFICE";s:1:" ";s:12:"SUGGESTEDMSG";s:341:"Your exchange has ADSL broadband. Our initial test on your line suggests that you may be able to have an ADSL broadband service that provides up to 2Mbps download speed. If you decide to place an order, a further test will be performed to confirm if your line is suitable, and if so for what speed of service. Thank you for your interest.";s:16:"SUPPLEMENTARYMSG";s:512:"Note: If you have an ISDN or Home Highway service connected to this number and you wish to purchase Broadband ADSL, this can be arranged through your Service Provider. You will only be able to keep one of your ISDN / Home Highway telephone numbers - generally you can choose any of your numbers but there are some rare exceptions. If you have an existing Broadband ADSL service and wish to change service providers then please contact both your new and existing service provider to have this service transferred.";}" Seems like a perfectly valid serialized string to me. Any help would be much appreciated.
