Work with serialized data easier

tm-serialization-command1.php

#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php

// This command simply prints out the serialized data in a readable printed array format
// Found on a blog via a google search
// @see http://top-frog.com/2009/08/28/quickly-unserialize-data-in-textmate/
$data = unserialize(file_get_contents('php://stdin'));

print_r($data);

?>

tm-serialization-command2.php

#!/usr/bin/env php
<?php

// This command is the "re-serialization" version of my other gist
// I needed a way to get my newly edited data back to it's original serialized format so I wrote this

// First we create an array with each line (with the exception of the first and last)
$string_to_array = explode("\n",file_get_contents('php://stdin'));

// We cycle through the array and turn the data into a usable php array
foreach ($string_to_array as $line) {
   if(preg_match("/(\s+)\[/", $line))
   {
      $key     = preg_replace("/(\s+\[(.*)\].+)/","$2",$line);
      $value   = preg_replace("/.+(=> (.*)\n?)/","$2",$line);
      $array_result[$key] = $value;
   }
}

// Then we print it back out serialized and ready to be put back wherever it came from
echo serialize($array_result);
