(PHP3 >= 3.0.5, PHP4 )
unserialize --
Creates a PHP value from a stored representation
Description
mixed unserialize (string str)
unserialize() takes a single serialized
variable (see serialize()) and converts it
back into a PHP value. The converted value is returned, and can
be an integer, double,
string, array or object.
If an object was serialized, its methods are not preserved in the
returned value.
Example 1. Unserialize() example
// Here, we use unserialize() to load session data from a database
// into $session_data. This example complements the one described
// with serialize().
$conn = odbc_connect ("webdb", "php", "chicken");
$stmt = odbc_prepare ($conn, "SELECT data FROM sessions WHERE id = ?");
$sqldata = array ($PHP_AUTH_USER);
if (!odbc_execute ($stmt, &$sqldata) || !odbc_fetch_into ($stmt, &$tmp)) {
// if the execute or fetch fails, initialize to empty array
$session_data = array();
} else {
// we should now have the serialized data in $tmp[0].
$session_data = unserialize ($tmp[0]);
if (!is_array ($session_data)) {
// something went wrong, initialize to empty array
$session_data = array();
}
}
