I would like to know what kind of data type this is, so I can decode it in PHP:
{s:31:"xperience_achievements_you_have";s:20:"You have %1$s points";s:26:"xperience_award_drawnin_of";s:69:"<b>%1$s</b> drawn-in of <a href="member.php?u=%2$s">%3$s</a> on %4$s.";s:26:"xperience_award_issued_for";s:68:"<b>%1$s</b> issued for <a href="member.php?u=%2$s">%3$s</a> on %4$s.";s:35:"xperience_award_issued_for_multiple";s:42:"<b>%1$s</b> issued for more than one user.";s:27:"xperience_award_issued_none";s:36:"<b>%1$s</b> has not yet been issued.";s:20:"xperience_awards_log";s:25:"Activity on issued Awards";s:28:"xperience_awards_used_fields";s:12:"Fields used:";s:17:"xperience_details";s:12:"Show details";s:14:"xperience_earn";s:11:"Earn Points";s:21:"xperience_earn_factor";s:6:"Factor";s:20:"xperience_earn_yours";s:5:"Yours";s:20:"xperience_gap_choose";s:16:"Give Away Points";s:27:"xperience_gap_choose_amount";s:66:"Enter the amount of points.

It looks like some kind of JSON but json_decode returns an empty string.
Thanks in advance.
It’s a serialized variable, use
unserialize($string);.See serialize and unserialize.
