Unserializing data doesn't work

Question

Been at this for the past 5 hours and I\'m stumped. Tried the most ridiculous functions to try and fix it but to no avail.

I\'m retrieving data from a WP database. The

Answer 1

Whoops found the answer! :) WP function hidden in functions.php from WP themselves.

function maybe_unserialize( $original ) {
    if ( is_serialized( $original ) ) // don't attempt to unserialize data that wasn't serialized going in
        return @unserialize( $original );
    return $original;
}

Fixed the unserializing by doing:

$unserialized = maybe_unserialize( unserialize( $usermeta['facebookmeta'] ));

Returns it all in a neat array! :)

Happy happy! :)
