How can I get the data out of this string that has been serialize I need to
get it into an array so I can access the data with something like
$testdata[1]
I have tried
$testdata= unserialize($testdata);
also
$sst= base64_encode(serialize($testdata));
$testdata1= unserialize(base64_decode($sst));
I ether get an error bool(false) or the same data back.
I do not have control of the script that serializes it
$testdata='a:17:{s:11:"event_start";s:4:"2230";s:9:"event_end";s:4:"2300";s:
14:"start_unixtime";i:1173076200;s:12:"end_unixtime";i:1173078000;s:10:"even
t_text";s:37:"Call+NANCYADKINS+-+%28276%29+681-6548";s:12:"event_length";i:1
800;s:13:"event_overlap";i:0;s:11:"description";s:17:"This+is+test+Data";s:6
:"status";s:0:"";s:5:"class";s:7:"CONTACT";s:9:"spans_day";b:0;s:8:"location
";s:0:"";s:9:"organizer";s:6:"a:0:{}";s:8:"attendee";s:6:"a:0:{}";s:9:"calnu
mber";i:1;s:7:"calname";s:5:"admin";s:3:"url";s:0:""';
