Read this using php

Is there any way to read/write the follow开发者_运维百科ing data using php? And what is this called?

a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}

Looks like data serialized by the PHP serialize() function. You can read it using unserialize().

$serialized = 'a:1:{s:13:"administrator";s:1:"1";}';
$data = unserialize($serialized);
print_r($data);

try using unserialize() if that is a serialized data then that should unserialize it.

Yep... That's serialized data. You can unserialize it for pure chechup purposes here - http://unserialize.net/serialize.

Other than that use unserialize() in your PHP code.
