What is this error code saying

billspeg

Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 10 of 1801 bytes in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\moodle\course\lib.php on line 509

I can go to the line of code but i dont know what offset means.
and there don't appear to be any errors in the code take a look

function print_section($course, $section, $mods, $modnamesused, $absolute=false, $width="100%") {
global $CFG;

$modinfo = unserialize($course->modinfo);

echo "<TABLE WIDTH=\"$width\"><TR><TD>\n";
if ($section->sequence) {

    $sectionmods = explode(",", $section->sequence);

    foreach ($sectionmods as $modnumber) {
        $mod = $mods[$modnumber];
        $instancename = urldecode($modinfo[$modnumber]->name);
        echo "<IMG SRC=\"$CFG->wwwroot/mod/$mod->modname/icon.gif\" HEIGHT=16 WIDTH=16 ALT=\"$mod->modfullname\">";
        echo " <FONT SIZE=2><A TITLE=\"$mod->modfullname\"";
        echo "   HREF=\"$CFG->wwwroot/mod/$mod->modname/view.php?id=$mod->id\">$instancename</A></FONT>";
        if (isediting($course->id)) {
            echo "&nbsp;&nbsp;";
            echo make_editing_buttons($mod->id, $absolute);
        }
        echo "<BR>\n";
    }
}
echo "</TD></TR></TABLE><BR>\n\n";

}

I actually couldn't tell you if this code looks all correct or not since i am inexperienced with true PHP coding. but i need to get this class i am running with this software working any clues help please!! 😕

Could you point out line 509 for me? Thanks.

i think you've missed placed a ' in the unserialize function or haven't used it at all. Need to code to check it though

$modinfo = unserialize($course->modinfo);

You probably know that unserialize must be called on a string. Is that what you're doing? If $course->modinfo is cast in some other type, I suppose it might create an error like this....

Give it a try and see i guess... hard to tell without seeing method modinfo...

$course = (string) $course->modinfo ;
$modinfo = unserialize($course);
