# Ruby PHP Serializer

This module provides two methods: `PHP.serialize` and `PHP.unserialize`,
both of which should be compatible with the similarly named functions in PHP.

## Installing

In your `Gemfile`:
```ruby
gem "php-serialize"
```

## Usage

```ruby
PHP.serialize({'foo' => 'bar'}) #=> "a:1:{s:3:\"foo\";s:3:\"bar\";}"
PHP.unserialize('a:1:{s:3:"foo";s:3:"bar";}') #=> {"foo"=>"bar"}
```

`PHP.unserialize` can also read PHP sessions, which are collections of named
serialized objects. These can be reserialized using `PHP.serialize_session`,
which has the same semantics as `PHP.serialize`, but which only supports Hash
and associative Arrays for the root object.

See http://php.net/serialize and http://php.net/unserialize for
details on the PHP side of all this.
