unserialize() Error at offset

Error:

Notice:  unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 0 of 126 bytes in C:\wamp\www\web_service\client.php on line 224

false

Code 1:

$data = array('table'=>'users', 'operation'=>'select', 'uid'=>'yoyo');

$data = serialize($data);
print_r(unserialize($data));

Code 2:

$data = array('table'=>'users', 'operation'=>'select', 'uid'=>'yoyo');

$data = base64_encode(serialize($data));
print_r(unserialize(base64_decode($data)));

Both of above gives same error. Any idea why?

Thanks

Looked at these;

One, Two, ....

Solution 
  • $data = array('table'=>'users', 'operation'=>'select', 'uid'=>'yoyo');

$data = json_encode($data);

// Use either as array
print_r((array) json_decode($data));

//Or Json
echo $data;

    Apparently JSON is a better solution so I use it instead. Thanks for contributions.
