Unserialize PHP Array in JavaScript

Unserialize PHP Array in Javascript

wrap json_encode around unserialize

echo json_encode( unserialize( $array));

How to unserialize an array in Javascript

For javascript you probably don't want to use serialize and unserialize, but instead turn the result into JSON with json_encode.

This format can be easily decoded by Javascript using JSON.parse().

Unserialize array from database with javascript

You can use this lib:

But in general, I can't understand why do you need this. Just convert in to the JSON object in PHP, then work without troubles with it in JS.

JS unserializing a PHP serialized array

You'll need to transform the array to JSON format, it will be easier for JS to understand, so do this in your html:

<input type="hidden" id="information" name="information" value="<?php echo htmlentities(serialize($hidden_information)); ?>" //This will comunicate with PHP
<input type="hidden" id="js_information" name="js_information" value="<?php echo json_encode($hidden_information); ?>" />

The information input will be use to comunicate with PHP and js_information for comunicating with JS. Then you can get that info in JS using:

var information = JSON.parse($('#js_information').val());

Note: You'll need to have PHP 5.2 or superior, also there's no need to put input in the jQuery selector because you have the ID specified
`

serialize to unserialize data

You can just iterate over the array and unserialize every single entry:

$unserialized = array();

foreach ($data as $serialized) {
    $unserialized[] = unserialize($serialized);
}

PHP unserializing a JS serialized string of variables

You can use parse_str:

$values = array();
parse_str($_POST['userData'], $values);
echo $values['input1']; //Outputs 'meeting'

Serialize/Unserialize javascript and be read by PHP

To make JavaScript serialize in the syntax of PHP's serialize would require a custom JavaScript function, however you can do what you want with JSON.

To serialize to JSON in JavaScript you would use the stringify method of the JSON object:

JSON.stringify(myArray)

and to unserialize a JSON string in PHP you would use json_decode:

json_decode($myJsonArray)

If you want to support older browsers, you will have to include an external implementation of the JSON object. See Browser-native JSON support

How can I create a PHP array from this serialized string?

unserialize is not for unserialising that format, it's the counterpart to serialize, which produces a very different result. To parse a URL-encoded string in PHP, use parse_str.

parse_str($_POST['serialized'], $result);
var_dump($result);

Of course, it's somewhat bizarre that you're sending a URL encoded string as $_POST['serialized']… You should send it as the one and only request body, and PHP will automatically parse it into $_POST and you won't have to do any of this.
