如何解码laravel会话json？

Question

a:4:{s:6:"_token";s:40:"PQ0eKCZm6fpBGy1UaalRVLLbSIc5OqqRptbfhOZy";s:5:"flash";a:2:{s:3:"old";a:0:{}s:3:"new";a:0:{}}s:4:"test";s:3:"123";s:9:"_sf2_meta";a:3:{s:1:"u";i:1395620563;s:1:"c";i:1395619755;s:1:"l";s:1:"0";}}

I'am reading this string from the laravel session file handler, how can I decode an array for example?

json_decode doesn't helped

Answer 1

This is serialized data. Use unserialize.

Demo:

php> unserialize('a:4:{s:6:"_token";s:40:"PQ0eKCZm6fpBGy1UaalRVLLbSIc5OqqRptbfhOZy";s:5:"flash";a:2:{s:3:"old";a:0:{}s:3:"new";a:0:{}}s:4:"test";s:3:"123";s:9:"_sf2_meta";a:3:{s:1:"u";i:1395620563;s:1:"c";i:1395619755;s:1:"l";s:1:"0";}}');
array (
  '_token' => 'PQ0eKCZm6fpBGy1UaalRVLLbSIc5OqqRptbfhOZy',
  'flash' => 
  array (
    'old' => 
    array (
    ),
    'new' => 
    array (
    ),
  ),
  'test' => '123',
  '_sf2_meta' => 
  array (
    'u' => 1395620563,
    'c' => 1395619755,
    'l' => '0',
  ),
)
