How to check weather a variable contains serialized data or not

[mosesdinakaran@gmail.com]

Hi,

Is there a way to check weather a variable contains serialized
data or not, as we hve some functions like
( is_ double,is_ float) to check the integer and float value.

Very messy, but I have to admit I've used it:

function is_serialized($ var){
$check = @unserialize($v ar);
return ($check===false && $var != serialize(false )) ? false : true;
}
