In the previous article, we learned about the method of serializing objects or arrays. If you need it, please read "How to serialize arrays and objects in php". This time we will introduce to you the method of deserializing objects or arrays. You can refer to it if necessary.

Before we start this article, let’s first understand what deserialization is.

Deserialization is the process of restoring byte streams (binary strings) into arrays and objects.

After we understand the meaning of deserialization, it is easy for us to understand what this article needs to do. We need to restore the serialized objects and arrays in the previous article.

Let’s look at a small example first, which is to restore the serialized array in the previous article.

The example in the previous article is

<?php    
$sites = array(&#39;Google&#39;, &#39;360&#39;, &#39;Facebook&#39;);    
$serialized_data = serialize($sites);    
echo  $serialized_data . PHP_EOL;  
?>
Copy after login

The result is

Then we will restore this byte stream into an array.

<?php
$str = &#39;a:3:{i:0;s:6:"Google";i:1;s:3:"360";i:2;s:8:"Facebook";}&#39;;
$unserialized_data = unserialize($str);
print_r($unserialized_data);
?>
Copy after login

The restored result is

Okay, let’s restore the result now. Let's explain it carefully. Such a long string of characters becomes an array after passing a function. Although we don't know what happened in this long sequence? How it went from a long string of numbers and letters to the array we are familiar with.

But we can learn this function.

The unserialize() function is used to deserialize the object or array serialized by the serialize() function and return the original object structure.

Then let’s take a look at the syntax structure of this function.

Copy after login

What needs to be noted is the return value of this function. Let’s take a closer look.

This function returns the converted value, which can be integer, float, string, array or object. If the passed string is not deserializable, FALSE is returned and an E_NOTICE is generated.

Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Explain JSON Web Tokens (JWT) and their use case in PHP APIs. Apr 05, 2025 am 12:04 AM

JWT is an open standard based on JSON, used to securely transmit information between parties, mainly for identity authentication and information exchange. 1. JWT consists of three parts: Header, Payload and Signature. 2. The working principle of JWT includes three steps: generating JWT, verifying JWT and parsing Payload. 3. When using JWT for authentication in PHP, JWT can be generated and verified, and user role and permission information can be included in advanced usage. 4. Common errors include signature verification failure, token expiration, and payload oversized. Debugging skills include using debugging tools and logging. 5. Performance optimization and best practices include using appropriate signature algorithms, setting validity periods reasonably,
