[SOLVED] Unserilize

[dropfaith]

the top one works the bottom doesnt any obvious reason why?

$Archetypes1 = ($row->Archetypes);

$Archetypes2 = unserialize($Archetypes1);

 

 

$Scenes1 = ($row->Scenes);

$Scenes2 = unserialize($Scenes1);

 

ive echoed both Scenes1 and Scenes2

 

Scenes1 (makes the serlized array display on screen

Scenes2 just prints the word array

[rhodesa]

that means the value that is being unserialized is an array. print it with print_r() instead

[dropfaith]

its part of a much bigger code im not directly echoing them out that was just for debugging

 

<?php
//Create the array of selected values
$Scenes1 = ($row->Scenes);
$Scenes2 = unserialize($Scenes1);
$checkOptions = array (
'Having a romantic dinner by candlelight', 'I am spanked because I have been a naughty boy or girl', 
'A stranger walks into my bedroom and finds me playing with myselfI am sold on a slave market', 
        'I am a foot slave, forced to care for my Mistress feet', 'I am a piece for furniture, only useful as a tabletop, etc', 
'I am forced to behave as a gender I am not', 'I am a dirty slut and must be punished', 'I am used as a slave in public', 
'I am used as a slave in private', 'I am ordered to please others', 'I am a little schoolgirl or schoolboy', 
'I am sitting/kneeling at my Mistress feet', 'I am are tied and teased', 'I am grabbed by the hair and dragged into the bedroom', 
'I am used as a dog, pony or pet', 'I am verbally humiliated', 'I am tied, gagged and blindfolded and left alone', 
'I am tied, gagged, blindfolded and thoroughly whipped', 'My physical limits are tested and stretched', 
'My mental limits are tested and stretched', 'I am a total slave every day of the week'
    );
foreach ($checkOptions as $option)
{
    $selected = (in_array($option, $Scenes2))?' checked="checked"':'';
    echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"Scenes[]\" value=\"$option\"$selected />$option<br />\n";
}
echo $Scenes1;
echo "<br />";
echo $Scenes2;
?>

[rhodesa]

the script you have looks fine...minus the "echo $Scenes2" at the end. what are you trying to accomplish there?

[dropfaith]

it is supposed to populate checkboxes from a database

i have like 10 of these and this is the only one that fails..

 

 

[dropfaith]

works i cant see a difference

<?php
//Create the array of selected values
$Archetypes1 = ($row->Archetypes);
$Archetypes2 = unserialize($Archetypes1);
$checkOptions = array (
    'Soldiers, marines, paratroopers', 'Sailors, coast guard, merchant marine',
    'Airmen, pilots', 'Policewomen, security people', 'Truck drivers', 'Firemen',
    'Executioners', 'Nurses, doctors', 'Prostitutes, tramps', 'Cruel/abusive women',
    'Cowgirl', 'Surfers, life guards', 'Biker chicks', 'Warrior/Wrestler', 'Royalty, nobility',
    'Business people. managers, the boss', 'Divas', 'Teachers', 'Daddy', 'Mommy'
    );
foreach ($checkOptions as $option)
{
    $selected = (in_array($option, $Archetypes2))?' checked="checked"':'';
    echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"Archetypes[]\" value=\"$option\"$selected />$option<br />\n";
}
?>

[rhodesa]

what is the output of the following:

$Scenes1 = ($row->Scenes);
$Scenes2 = unserialize($Scenes1);
print '<pre>'.print_r($Scenes2,1).'</pre>';

Array
(
    [0] => I am spanked because I have been a naughty boy or girl 
    [1] => A stranger walks into my bedroom and finds me playing with myself 
)

the following works fine for me. the only thing i did was manually set the value for $Scenes2 and split two items where you forgot a ',' on line two of the big array

 

<?php
//Create the array of selected values
//$Scenes1 = ($row->Scenes);
//$Scenes2 = unserialize($Scenes1);
$Scenes2 = array(
  'I am spanked because I have been a naughty boy or girl',
  'A stranger walks into my bedroom and finds me playing with myself'
);
$checkOptions = array (
   'Having a romantic dinner by candlelight', 'I am spanked because I have been a naughty boy or girl', 
   'A stranger walks into my bedroom and finds me playing with myself','I am sold on a slave market', 
   'I am a foot slave, forced to care for my Mistress feet', 'I am a piece for furniture, only useful as a tabletop, etc', 
   'I am forced to behave as a gender I am not', 'I am a dirty slut and must be punished', 'I am used as a slave in public', 
   'I am used as a slave in private', 'I am ordered to please others', 'I am a little schoolgirl or schoolboy', 
   'I am sitting/kneeling at my Mistress feet', 'I am are tied and teased', 'I am grabbed by the hair and dragged into the bedroom', 
   'I am used as a dog, pony or pet', 'I am verbally humiliated', 'I am tied, gagged and blindfolded and left alone', 
   'I am tied, gagged, blindfolded and thoroughly whipped', 'My physical limits are tested and stretched', 
   'My mental limits are tested and stretched', 'I am a total slave every day of the week'
);
foreach ($checkOptions as $option)
{
    $selected = (in_array($option, $Scenes2))?' checked="checked"':'';
    echo "<input type=\"checkbox\" name=\"Scenes[]\" value=\"$option\"$selected />$option<br />\n";
}
?>

lol wut?

 

Unserialize is quite easy to understand.

 

If you stick an array into serialize() you will get a string. unserialize that string as a var ($var = unser...) and you get that same array structure under the new variable name.

lol wut?

 

...yeah...it's taken all of my energy not to comment about the values in the array...

[dropfaith]

yea sorry about those im working for a pro Dominatrix as a client its been a trippy job so far you should see the whole form if you think this is bad

 

hrmm when i use your code it works but when i get the array from the db  it fails odd

[akitchin]

what exactly do you mean by "fails?"

[dropfaith]

no errors just doesnt select the two checkboxes

 

 

[dropfaith]

odd i didnt really change anything but its working now

 

$Scenes1 = ($row->Scenes);

$Scenes2 = unserialize($Scenes1);

 

works all of a sudden

[rhodesa]

glad it's working...just a note, unless you specifically need the serialized version in a variable, you should save memory and just use one variable:

 

$Scenes = unserialize($row->Scenes);

I found this especially hilarious:

 

    [0] => I am spanked because I have been a naughty boy or girl
