cart|a:1:{i:0;a:3:{s:10:"product_id";s:1:"1";s:20:"product_price_number";s:1:"0"

[glenelkins]

does anyone know what this session string breaks down into? i cant find anything online that explains how they are put together

 

cart|a:1:{i:0;a:3:{s:10:"product_id";s:1:"1";s:20:"product_price_number";s:1:"0";s:16:"product_quantity";s:1:"1";}}

this is a serialized string of an array use unserialize to re-create the array

[oni-kun]

They are serialized, to be placed into a database. The numbers generally depict the length of each string's variable.. You'd have to use unserialize to view it in an array or whatever it was stored in.

awsome

[glenelkins]

further to this, i tried the "unserialize" function on the following session string

 

cart|a:1:{s:5:"items";a:1:{i:0;a:3:{s:10:"product_id";s:1:"2";s:20:"product_price_number";s:1:"0";s:16:"product_quantity";s:1:"1";}}}theme|s:7:"default";order|a:19:{s:9:"firstName";s:0:"";s:8:"lastName";s:0:"";s:11:"companyName";s:0:"";s:5:"email";s:0:"";s:9:"telephone";s:0:"";s:6:"mobile";s:0:"";s:26:"deliveryBuildingNumberName";s:0:"";s:18:"deliveryStreetName";s:0:"";s:16:"deliveryTownCity";s:0:"";s:21:"deliveryStateProvince";s:0:"";s:15:"deliveryCountry";s:0:"";s:21:"deliveryZipPostalCode";s:0:"";s:25:"billingBuildingNumberName";s:0:"";s:17:"billingStreetName";s:0:"";s:15:"billingTownCity";s:0:"";s:20:"billingStateProvince";s:0:"";s:14:"billingCountry";s:0:"";s:20:"billingZipPostalCode";s:0:"";s:10:"formAction";s:11:"reviewOrder";}

 

 

And i get this error:

 

Notice: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 0 of 744 bytes in C:\xampp\htdocs\Framework\Modules\admin\Models\ordersModel.php on line 24

This is oscommerce isn't it.

The serialized session contains an object of cart. The session handler will unserialize it. Why are you attempting to do this yourself.

[glenelkins]

no this is not oscommerce its a custom application. because the users shopping cart is stored in my sessions which i also then make a copy of the serialized string into the orders table...to make it easier to manage rather than typing more insert quieries, i just want to be able to decode the string to get the values that WERE in the session

 

[glenelkins]

its ok i forgot to serialize the session generated string before using it in the database

[alexdemers]

obviously "cart|" should not be part of the unserialization. This was probably for reference so:

 

$serial = substr($_COOKIE['name_of_cookie'], 5);
$array = unserialize($serial);
