Convert PHP serialized data to Unicode

Read Original

This technical article addresses a common problem when converting databases from single-byte encodings to Unicode UTF-8. PHP serialized data stores byte lengths, breaking unserialization after encoding conversion. The author provides a custom PHP function that recursively recounts string lengths in serialized data to fix this issue, handling edge cases like nested serialized strings.
