  • Another Hackday Update: PHP unserialize doesn’t quite do it

    Wow, I had to use someone’s custom unserialize code because PHP’s unserialize doesn’t quite work multi-byte strings. 🙁 Time wasted: 3 hours.

    Here’s the function:

    function mb_unserialize($serial_str) {
    $out = preg_replace(‘!s:(\d+):”(.*?)”;!se’, ‘”s:”.strlen(“$2″).”:\”$2\”;”‘, $serial_str);
    return unserialize($out);
    }

  • Update on the WordPress Dev2Live Hackday

    I know the bare minimum of what has to change in a WordPress install. Code that gets me the tables, and shows me the serializeable data in WordPress’ option settings is done.

  • A WordPress Hackday

    Today, I’m going to explore looking for a solution for staging WordPress from a development environment to a production one. I’ll be posting throughout the day as “hacks” become available.

    The main issue is changing serialized dev data into production data.

    I’ll be in irc.freenode.net #wpdev2live .
