Ruby PHP Serializer
This module provides two methods: PHP.serialize
and PHP.unserialize
,
both of which should be compatible with the similarly named functions in PHP.
Installing
In your Gemfile
:
gem "php-serialize"
Usage
PHP.serialize({'foo' => 'bar'}) #=> "a:1:{s:3:\"foo\";s:3:\"bar\";}"
PHP.unserialize('a:1:{s:3:"foo";s:3:"bar";}') #=> {"foo"=>"bar"}
PHP.unserialize
can also read PHP sessions, which are collections of named
serialized objects. These can be reserialized using PHP.serialize_session
,
which has the same semantics as PHP.serialize
, but which only supports Hash
and associative Arrays for the root object.
See http://php.net/serialize and http://php.net/unserialize for details on the PHP side of all this.
