serialized data in database

[truth4oll]

Save serialized data in database through base64_encode, and get through base64_decode.
It helps avoid popular error with offset

Hi! Could you provide more info on this error. I use this way to store serialized data for about 5 years without any problems.

Oh, I think I know what you mean. The problem appears when you use non-UTF8 encoding in your database. Ok, I'll add this feature soon.

Your example is not about DB, it’s on submission of serialized data with HTML forms.

As I said, there’s no problem when you use UTF8 in the DB.
