Trying to remember a function's name

Hi, I am drawing a total blank on this... I'm sure that I've seen it in
javascript or PHP... I'm looking for a function that takes a variable
(such as an array) and reduces it to a string which can be
reconstituted. I remember that it does slightly more work than needed
because all the types were specifically indicated even when they were
self evident, but I can't remember the function's name. There is some
unencoding function to go in reverse.

Would someone help me out and name the function I'm thinking of,
please.

Thanks,
Csaba Gabor

Hello, A couple days ago my friend (OOP guy) shows me what OOP was all about in C++. This morning I figured I can do pretty much the same thing with C (by putting function pointers in structures and using Macros). I've gone pretty far but I'm running into problems because the function pointers within the structures need an extra argument (a pointer to that type of structure) so they know which data to operate on. Also, I have to...

Hello All. I'm trying to remember a .NET open source tool name, but I can't!! :P That tool does the following: - allow us specify a file or a text to import to its own storage; - once the content is imported, you can do quick full-search queries in that storage - distributed as dll, for programmer use;
