Urgent help please: unserialize

[burna]

hy everybody!

in a form i submit checkbox-data, serialize it and send it to a database.

serialized data in database looks like:
a:3:{s:12:"piktogramm16";s:2:"on";s:12:"piktogramm1";s:2:"on";s:6:"submit";s:6:"Submit";}

but in the query-page when i want to unserialize it i got a parse error!

(with the $_GET method in only one page with one form without database it works!)

the script:

<?
include "db.php";

$results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM layoutcontents WHERE ID ='$ID'"); 
$result = mysql_fetch_array($results); 

$ID  = $result["ID"];
$piktogramme = $result["piktogramme"];


    ser2=unserialize($piktogramme); 


	foreach($ser2 as $schluessel=>$wert)
	{


	if(($schluessel == "piktogramm16") && ($wert == "on")){
   		echo "<img src='img/piktogramme/piktogramm_fitness.gif'>";
   		}

	if(($schluessel == "piktogramm1") && ($wert == "on")){
   		echo "<img src='img/piktogramme/piktogramm_Amex.gif'>";
   		}




	}



?>

could anybody help me?

use [man]addslashes()[/man] when putting it into the database and [man]stripslashes()[/man] when selecting out of the database

[edit]
It's nothing to do with that actually, you forgot the $ before the variable ser2

one more problem happens!

i got the form site which contains the user input. (multipart/formdata)
the second page is the safe_data.php which puts the data from the first page into the database. the formpage doesent only contains the checkbox data, it contains also other form-fields.

the problem:
when i got two pages it doesnt serialize the checkbox data. i got an empty result (a:1:{s:11:"piktogramme";s:0:"";}) in the database.

code in safe_data.php to get the data from the checkboxes:

$piktos = ($_GET); 
$piktogramme=serialize($piktos);
$piktogramme=addslashes($piktogramme);

but when i got the form and the data-insert in one page it works!
or is the form method the problem?

please help me! got no more ideas whats wrong!
