And when i try to print dates as a table i get an error using:

while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($result)){

    $mydata = $row['option_value'];
    $data = unserialize($mydata);
    $tabel = $data['seasonal_prices_schema'];
    foreach($tabel as $linie) {

        $from = $linie['from'];
        $to = $linie['to'];

        echo '<tr>';
        echo '<td>' . $from . '</td>';
        echo '<td>' . $to . '</td>';
        echo '</tr>';

    }

}

The error is: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in x.php on line 102

-> foreach($tabel as $linie)

When i paste the following stored dates into $mydata = ''; it prints it, but when i've put the info from db isnt working.

Sorry for my english, if you have any idea.

EDIT:

I think i figured why isnt working, first of all it dosnt sees it as an array if it gets it from data base, if i copy paste from database on $mydata it prints the table. I think the problem is s:3:"m²"; that "2".

THE FIX: I've put this after making connection to DB. and fixed the problem with the "m²"

if($link->set_charset("utf8")){
   // rest of the code
}

Thanks

Answer 1

Well that is simple to explain here. Your string is: s:22:"seasonal_p... , what says: String with 22 charackters and content ...

So that is not an array you can loop over.

To unserialize an array, your string must start with: a:32:{s:22:...} , so in this case the strign in the database might be currupted.

Just try https://de.functions-online.com/unserialize.html with your string posted and you will see that it just returns a string.

By the way: The unserialize function returns false in case of an error. So you cannot distiguish between:

$val = unserialize(serialize(false));

and

$val = unserialize('##'); //invalid string

UPDATE

Again, looking at the result reveals what happens: Now you are unserializing an array, but that is deeply nested and contains other arrays with either numeric or string keys, so you cannot use an array as string.
