splitting a serialized array

[jarvis]

Hi

I really hope someone can help me with this. I have the following:

$location   = (array) ( unserialize(get_post_meta($post_id, $test, true)) ); 
print_r ($location);

This outputs:

 

a:3:{s:7:"address";s:38:"1 Test Way, Test Town, Sussex AB12 3BC, UK";s:3:"lat";d:50.12396349999999932833816274069249629974365234375;s:3:"lng";d:0.1235546000000000272933675660169683396816253662109375;}​

 

If I do:

$test = (unserialize('a:3:{s:7:"address";s:38:"1 Test Way, Test Town, Sussex AB12 3BC, UK";s:3:"lat";d:50.12396349999999932833816274069249629974365234375;s:3:"lng";d:0.1235546000000000272933675660169683396816253662109375;}​'));

Then the following works:

$geo_address = $test['address'];
echo $geo_address;

And it displays what I need! Why then does the following not work:

 

$test = (unserialize( get_post_meta($post_id, $test, true) ));

Surely its the same thing?

 

Any help is much appreciated!

unserializing once gave you a serialized string which you then unserialized to get the array.

 

Looks like your original was serialized twice.
