Check to see if a string is serialized?

确定一个字符串是否是serialize（）函数的结果/输出的最佳方法是什么？

---

I'd say, try to unserialize it ;-)

Quoting the manual :

In case the passed string is not unserializeable, FALSE is returned and E_NOTICE is issued.

So, you have to check if the return value is false or not (with === or !== , to be sure not to have any problem with 0 or null or anything that equals to false , I'd say).

Just beware the notice : you might want/need to use the @ operator.

For instance :

$str = 'hjkl';
$data = @unserialize($str);
if ($data !== false) {
    echo "ok";
} else {
    echo "not ok";
}

Will get you :

not ok

EDIT : Oh, and like @Peter said (thanks to him!), you might run into trouble if you are trying to unserialize the representation of a boolean false :-(

So, checking that your serialized string is not equal to " b:0; " might be helpful too ; something like this should do the trick, I suppose :

$data = @unserialize($str);
if ($str === 'b:0;' || $data !== false) {
    echo "ok";
} else {
    echo "not ok";
}

testing that special case before trying to unserialize would be an optimization -- but probably not that usefull, if you don't often have a false serialized value.

I didn't write this code, it's from WordPress actually. Thought I'd include it for anybody interested, it might be overkill but it works :)

<?php
function is_serialized( $data ) {
    // if it isn't a string, it isn't serialized
    if ( !is_string( $data ) )
        return false;
    $data = trim( $data );
    if ( 'N;' == $data )
        return true;
    if ( !preg_match( '/^([adObis]):/', $data, $badions ) )
        return false;
    switch ( $badions[1] ) {
        case 'a' :
        case 'O' :
        case 's' :
            if ( preg_match( "/^{$badions[1]}:[0-9]+:.*[;}]$/s", $data ) )
                return true;
            break;
        case 'b' :
        case 'i' :
        case 'd' :
            if ( preg_match( "/^{$badions[1]}:[0-9.E-]+;$/", $data ) )
                return true;
            break;
    }
    return false;
}

/**

 * @param string $string
 */
public static function is_serial($string) {
    return (@unserialize($string) !== false);
}
