[RESOLVED] Serialize / Unserialize help

[sledgeweb]

Hello, I'm working on persistent logins, and I'm having trouble with serialize and unserialize. Right now, I'm just doing a test and I'm trying to set a cookie named 'login' as such:

setcookie("login", serialize(array("un" => $username)), time() + 31104000);

Which, right now, just has a username variable.

That results in the following serialized data if I print_r the $_COOKIE['login'] variable:
a:1:{s:2:\"un\";s:9:\"username\";}

However, if I try something like:
print_r(unserialize($_COOKIE['login']))

or

$login = unserialize($_COOKIE['login'));
print_r($login);

I get nothing. Nothing is printed at all, and I can't access my data. However, if I just do print_r($_COOKIE['login']) I can see the serialized data. For some reason, the unserialize function is returning empty. Any ideas?!?

Turn up your error reporting and see what notices you get (I'm presuming you put "username" instead of the real username, which was nine characters long?). I'm thinking you'll want to use stripslashes() to unescape the double quotes.

You are right, using stripslashes made everything work. Thanks!
