unserialize() isn't working....

Hi everyone.
I have some troubles using the unserialize() function.

I have serialized an array and that works perfect:

echo '<input type="hidden" name="vardekedj a" value="'.serial ize($_POST
['vardekedja']).'">';

Gives the output:
a:3:{i:0;s:7:

Then on a later page I write:
$vardekedja = $_POST['vardekedja'];
$varde = unserialize($va rdekedja);
echo $vardekedja; echo '
';
echo $varde; echo '
';
echo 'why?';

And, as I echoed out, WHY?

why isn't it working??

Please help!

Have you tried "View Source"?

serialize() uses double quotes (") and these quotes don't mix well with
the HTML quotes!
try htmlentities()

echo '<input type="hidden" name="vardekedj a" value="'
. htmlentities(se rialize($_POST['vardekedja']))
. '">';

But why are you serializing the $_POST array to put _into_ the form?
Well ... try it :-)

Greetings: So, I've got a real problem in that PHP doesn't seem to be able to unserialize() an array that has an element containing a newline. Of course, I've used htmlentities() to protect the serialized data. Here's a simple example that demonstrates the problem: ----- <?php

Some have suggested that using serialize() and unserialize is faster than reading/writing an array to disk as a simple text file using $array = file('numbers.txt'); Can anyone justify this? It seems to me that there is some overhead associated with calling unserialize().

Hello all, I have a question about unserializing a single array element from a serialized array. Can this be done, or must I first unserialize the array, and then access the element? For example, given: $data = serialize(array('4.50','0.00','0.00'));

With java servlets I can declare complex object-oriented class structures as session variables in a servlet. That means I can have a complex HTML form that submits iteratively back to the server for interim updates, before a final save (interim post events allow users to add values to dropdown menus, collapse parts of the form, etc). And it all works because Java so seamlessly takes care of serializing a complex class structure for...

I've just taken over a PHP website and am converting it to ASP.NET (don't shoot!).

Hello everyone! I'm currently working on a MVC-framework and have run into an issue. I'm using separate script files to render the active page's CSS and Javascript Code. I want to pull the data from the page controller object, which is initialized in another script. I thought this wouldn't be a problem if I simply stored the controller in the session-file, but the unserialization of the object simply won't work.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
