Let’s say you have some post data, but your database/persistent storage can’t be modified to store the new post data in separate fields.
You could serialize your $_POST array and store it in the persistent storage you’ve got. It’s useful for generating user-based CRUD applications. I’ve found the necessity of storing the POST as a “payload” of sorts quite invaluable at times.
Knowing you can do something, doesn’t mean you have to use it everywhere.
