The break would occur if you use PHP 6 serialized content in PHP 5, not vice versa. I already said that having the same escape format in PHP 5.2 is not tractable for BC reasons and the support, as such, must be left to PHP_Compat. -Andrei On Dec 7, 2006, at 2:25 AM, Thomas Seifert wrote: From a users point of view: you must be kidding, eh? > You want to break all the strings which were stored serialized in the > 5.x-series?
