unserialize problem

[Anon]

Hello everyone,

I used serialize function:

$sessItemIDArray had some values eg) 1,3,5

I wanted to store these values in $sessItems. I used serialize to do this. So now in my database table I have
a:2:{i:0;s:1:"5";i:1;s:1:"3";} which is alright. My code looked like this:

$sessItems = serialize(&$sessItemIDArray);

Now I want to take this information out and print the "1,3,5".

Heres the PROBLEM-I used unserialize:

$sessItems = unserialize($sessItems);

It prints "Array" though. Anyone know what's wrong?

Thanks for your time!

Exactly what prints "Array"? That is to say I don't see print() or echo anywhere in your code. If you're doing print($sessItems);, it'll print "Array" because $sessItems is an array (unserialize returns an array). You can't just print an array. You have to print the elements of the array, e.g. print($sessItems[0]); or foreach($sessItems as $value) { print($value); }
