Mulit-byte Unserialize

If you put a serialized string in an HTML form on a UTF-8 page you'll likely need to use this function when processing the form.


/**
 * Mulit-byte Unserialize
 *
 * UTF-8 will screw up a serialized string
 *
 * @access private
 * @param string
 * @return string
 */
function mb_unserialize($string) {
	$string = preg_replace('!s:(\d+):"(.*?)";!se', "'s:'.strlen('$2').':\"$2\";'", $string);
	return unserialize($string);
}
