Question

I have a User table that has serialized data in one of the tables.

When the user logs in, that row for the user gets loaded into a session object. The issue is that the entire user object is then serialized by CI’s Session library. This causes issues when unserializing. Digging down into the Session.php library, it looks like unserialize returns false.

Has anyone come across this or know of any way to better serialize serialized objects?

EDIT
Correct, it’s not serialized in my User table. It’s saved as JSON. Which still breaks the unserialize

Answer 1

well if you data is saved as in json format then to bring it back to life (usable form) you should use json_decode function
