[SOLVED] Posting Serialized Data Not Working

[civil777]

 

I am trying to send an object from one PHP file to another using POST. I serialize the object and then add slashes. For some reason, only part of the data is getting through. It appears to be a problem with the slashes. Here is the HTML that is generate in the sending PHP file:

 

<select name="match3"><option value="O:19:\"teacher_student_match\":3:{s:7:\"sess_id\";s:2:\"67\";s:7:\"stud_id\";s:2:\"10\";s:6:\"tut_id\";N;}">Rodriguez, Jorge</option></select>

 

In the receiving file, I get the following for $_POST['match3']:

 

O:19:\\

 

So I am not getting the full string that I am trying to send.

 

Anyone know what might be going wrong?

Why are you adding slashes ?

use htmlentities instead

 

sample code (untested)

<?php
if(!empty($_POST)){
$X = unserialize(($_POST['data']));
echo $X->name;
die;
}
$x = new test;
$x->name = "MadTechie";
?>
<form method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="data" value="<?php echo htmlentities(serialize($x));?>">
<input type="submit">
</form>
<?php

class test{
public $name;
public $age;
}
?>
