Serializing Session variables. Cuts off after a given length????

[Ryan Hubbard]

I've have been trying to serialize an array of objects. I can
serialize and set a session variable and retrieve it successfully for
a serialize string of any length within the contents of a single
script.

$_SESSION['a'] = serialize($b); // strlen($a) = 120,011
print unserialize($_S ESSION['a'])


But if I set a session variable and then try to access it on another
page the session variable is always truncated at 67,789 in length. So
the unserialize function cannot correctly interrupt the variable. Why
are my serialized session variables truncated at 67,789???

Thanks

Why are you serializing the array? You can just do a $_SESSION['a'] =
$b;

Data is automatically serialized when it is inserted into a SESSION. So
the session variable really has a serialized serialized array.

I don't know if not serializing the array before you store it will
help, but it's worth a shot.
