Unserialize() doesn't work in server (does in local)

[sulfurito]

Hello, I have a call tu function unserialize() in a script that receives a string and has to return an array. In my localhost it works properly but in the server it returns a 1 dimension array with empty value. I'm testing with the string a:1:{s:1:"0";s:8:"value_eq";}

 

The php.ini configuration for magic_quotes is (in both, server and localhost):

 

magic_quotes_gpc Off

magic_quotes_runtime Off

 

Other configurations is difficult to compare, as php info is long and very different in local and server.

 

Any ideas where the problem might be?

 

Thank you

Please put your code in here

$fields = 'a:1:{s:1:"0";s:8:"value_eq";}' ; //Actually this is generated by a javascript function, but this is the value that arrives
$field_list = unserialize($fields);

echo "There are " . count($field_list) . " fields<br>";
echo "First field is " . $field_list[0];

 

This writes:

 

In localhost:

There are 1 fields

First field is value_eq

 

In server:

There are 1 fields

First field is

 

Thank you

I think that how you try to call it is wrong as this works perfectly:

<?php
$x = serialize(array('value_eq'));
$y = unserialize($x);

echo $y[0];
?>

 

You used the PHP serialize function for this $fields ?

No, I use this javascript function, but do you think it matters when it comes from? the parameter I'm using is this $fields = 'a:1:{s:1:"0";s:8:"value_eq";}' ;, and it works in localhost

 

    function js_array_to_php_array (a)
    // This converts a javascript array to a string in PHP serialized format.
    // This is useful for passing arrays to PHP. On the PHP side you can 
    // unserialize this string from a cookie or request variable. For example,
    // assuming you used javascript to set a cookie called "php_array"
    // to the value of a javascript array then you can restore the cookie 
    // from PHP like this:
    //    < ?php
    //    session_start();
    //    $my_array = unserialize(urldecode(stripslashes($_COOKIE['php_array'])));
    //    print_r ($my_array);
    //    ? >
    // This automatically converts both keys and values to strings.
    // The return string is not URL escaped, so you must call the
    // Javascript "escape()" function before you pass this string to PHP.
    {
        var a_php = "";
        var total = 0;
        for (var key in a)
        {
            ++ total;
            a_php = a_php + "s:" +
                    String(key).length + ":\"" + String(key) + "\";s:" +
                    String(a[key]).length + ":\"" + String(a[key]) + "\";";
        }
        a_php = "a:" + total + ":{" + a_php + "}";
        return a_php;
    }

 

Thank you
