I have an actionscript class that serializes and unserializes data compatible with php’s serialization functions. I expanded it to support binary data but now the unserialization does not seem to work.
For example, this data is not unserialized correctly:
a:2:{i:0;s:1:"õ";i:1;a:2:{i:0;s:32:"mÎiyl·T=doÁ°ýNd_¤ÁÝ`:AåÁˆ@";i:1;s:32:"ÿ^ò`d^|“T¶&JÐÞG[±iÏ*Ÿ!–Ü’IÍ";}}
Here is the class:
