Question

I’m using wordpress and one of my meta key values is stored like this:

a:1:{i:0;s:8:"Religion";}

I’m trying to figure out the easiest way in PHP to parse this so I can extract “Religion” or really any of the elements in a clean manner.

Hope this makes sense – thanks!!!

Answer 1

that is a serialized array, use unserialize()

$array = unserialize('a:1:{i:0;s:8:"Religion";}');
echo $array[0];
