IntroductionZend_Serializer provides an adapter based interface to simply generate storable representation of php types by different facilities, and recover. Example #1 Using Zend_Serializer dynamic interface To instantiate a serializer you should use the factory method with the name of the adapter:
The method serialize generates a storable string. To regenerate this serialized data you can simply call the method unserialize. Any time an error is encountered serializing or unserializing, Zend_Serializer will throw a Zend_Serializer_Exception. To configure a given serializer adapter, you can optionally add an array or an instance of Zend_Config to the factory or to the un-/serialize methods:
Options passed to the factory are valid for the instantiated object. You can change these options using the setOption(s) method. To change one or more options only for a single call, pass them as the second argument to either the serialize or unserialize method. Using the Zend_Serializer static interfaceYou can register a specific serializer adapter as a default serialization adapter for use with Zend_Serializer. By default, the PhpSerialize adapter will be registered, but you can change this option using the setDefaultAdapter() static method.
