Best Way To Store Objects In A Database

[JustinK101]

What is the better way, in terms of best practice and also speed of storing PHP objects in a database? Is it:

 

Serialize

$SQL = "INSERT INTO my_table (my_object) VALUES ('" . seralize($php_object). "')";

 

OR

 

JSON

$SQL = "INSERT INTO my_table (my_object) VALUES ('" . json_encode($php_object). "')";

 

Any idea which is faster serialize() / unserialize() or json_ecode() / json_decode()?

You'd need to run your own benchmarks or Google it I would say.

 

I doubt there would be much difference and I use serialization simply because php objects have nothing to do with javascript.

Just did a benchmark with 100,000 and 1,000,000, and serialize was 80% faster than json.
