My problem is that I have a list of serialized objects in a database, and I want to display a list of the details of those object to the user through an admin page. They are PHP objects in a Laravel queue.
I don't want to unserialize()
the data to restore the original objects, I just need to be able to "look in" at what is there.
One approach may be to convert each object in the serialized string to a stdClass
and move the original class name to a property of that. There may be other ways to analyse the string and provide what it contains as nested arrays of data.
Are there any implementations of these, or other, approaches available? I've not found anything in my usual searches.
