如何从该序列化的字符串创建PHP数组？

Question

I have a string which looks like this:

id_company=57&name=&address=&zip=&place=&phone=&mobile=&email=&birthdate=&birthplace=&bsn=&driver_expires=&role=&date_started=&contract=Tijdelijk&id_type=Paspoort&id_number=&id_expires=

Above example is empty for the most part (except id_company).

I serialize my form in jquery like this:

var $serialized = $form.serialize();

And in my php I do this:

$jsonemployee = unserialize($_POST['serialized']);

After that I try to print it because I expect an array:

echo '<pre>';
print_r($jsonemployee);
echo '</pre>';

But this shows me nothing.

I am 100% sure all data is passed, in my networktab I see the string being posted and if I just echo the string, it shows the string.

How can I create a PHP array from that string?

Answer 1

unserialize is not for unserialising that format, it's the counterpart to serialize , which produces a very different result. To parse a URL-encoded string in PHP, use parse_str .

parse_str($_POST['serialized'], $result);
var_dump($result);

Of course, it's somewhat bizarre that you're sending a URL encoded string as $_POST['serialized'] … You should send it as the one and only request body, and PHP will automatically parse it into $_POST and you won't have to do any of this.

Answer 2

you just need to convert this string into an array by doing :

$myArray = explode("&",$_POST['serialized']);

i think that will work for you.
