0 0 1 minute read

The SplDoublyLinkedList::unserialize() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to unserialize the storage of SplDoublyLinkedList::serialize() function.

Syntax:

void SplDoublyLinkedList::unserialize( string $serialized )

Parameters: This function accepts single parameter $serialized which holds the serialized string.

Return Value: This function does not return any value.

Below programs illustrate the SplDoublyLinkedList::unserialize() function in PHP:
Program 1:

<?php 
   
// Declare an empty SplDoublyLinkedList  
$list = new SplDoublyLinkedList(); 
   
// Use SplDoublyLinkedList::push() function to   
// add elements to the SplDoublyLinkedList  
$list->push(1);  
$list->push(2);  
$list->push(3);  
$list->push(8);  
$list->push(5);  
   
// Use SplDoublyLinkedList::serialize() function 
// to serialize the object 
$serialize = serialize($list); 
  
echo $serialize . "\n"; 
  
// Use SplDoublyLinkedList::unserialize() function 
// to unserialize the object 
$unserialze = unserialize($serialize); 
  
print_r($unserialze); 
  
?> 

Output:

C:19:"SplDoublyLinkedList":29:{i:0;:i:1;:i:2;:i:3;:i:8;:i:5;}
SplDoublyLinkedList Object
(
    [flags:SplDoublyLinkedList:private] => 0
    [dllist:SplDoublyLinkedList:private] => Array
        (
            [0] => 1
            [1] => 2
            [2] => 3
            [3] => 8
            [4] => 5
        )

)

Program 2:

<?php 
   
// Declare an empty SplDoublyLinkedList  
$list = new SplDoublyLinkedList(); 
   
// Use SplDoublyLinkedList::add() function 
// to add the element into the list 
$list->add(0, "Welcome");  
$list->add(1, "to");  
$list->add(2, "zambiatek");  
$list->add(3, "A");  
$list->add(4, 'Computer');  
$list->add(5, "Science");  
$list->add(6, 'Portal');  
   
// Use SplDoublyLinkedList::serialize() function 
// to serialize the object 
$serialize = serialize($list); 
  
echo $serialize . "\n"; 
  
// Use SplDoublyLinkedList::unserialize() function 
// to unserialize the object 
$unserialze = unserialize($serialize); 
  
print_r($unserialze); 
  
?> 

Output:

C:19:”SplDoublyLinkedList”:105:{i:0;:s:7:”Welcome”;:s:2:”to”;:s:13:”zambiatek”;:s:1:”A”;:s:8:”Computer”;:s:7:”Science”;:s:6:”Portal”;}
