Need help php array that i didnt know

Question

I have this array:

Array ( 

  [_edit_last] => Array ( [0] => 1 ) 
  [mymail-campaigns] => Array ( 
     [0] => a:1:{i:379;a:3:s:4:"sent";b:1;s:9:"timestamp";i:1374085107;s:4:"open";i:1374085295;}}  
   )              

  [_edit_lock] => Array ( [0] => 1374095131:1 ) 

  [mymail-userdata] => Array ( 
    [0] => :a5:{s:9:"firstname";s:0:"";s:8:"lastname";s:0:"";s:17:"nombre-y-apellido";s:16:"**Fabrizio Di   Tata**";s:7:"celular";s:13:"**0261155890069**";s:5:"_meta";a:1:{s:2:"ip";s:0:"";}} )

)

And I need to get only the data in bold.

I know that i need to use a foreach, but is not the typical array that i know. Please help me.

Answer 1

The data in the array item is the result of a serialize() and can be expanded back to an array using unserialize()

serialize()

unserialize()

Answer 2

You're probably viewing this array on some text editor that hides the bold tag. could be html or something. have you tried viewing the array on a vim or notepad? Because in an array you don't get to do styling it should just be purely data unless it is explicitly placed there but as a delimited string.

Answer 3

Looks like a post meta data array generated by Wordpress.

If so, you can unserialize the data with the help of the built-in get_post_meta() function.

example:

$array = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'mymail-userdata', true);
