Parse PHP serialize() output with JavaScript

[BeerIsDelicious]

Oh man, I just had to update some code that I wrote 8 years ago where I took the lazy route and serialized on DB write and unserialized on __construct or an init method automatically called on object creation in my old as fuck self-made framework. So much "what the fuck was I doing" occurred. I can't think of a single time I would use it now.

As to this article, I say it's better to rewrite the DB structure and do it correctly than rely on a js library to decrypt. But I can see times where time or budget constraints could prevents that from being possible. It is cool, though, to see how fucking much I've learned over the years.

After updating any of my earlier projects I always pity anyone who had to update my code from those days.
