How to pass serialized binary data

[ElgisRamon]

Hello,<br><br>I want to pass serialized data between forms like that<br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>&lt;?php<br>$bindata = serialize( $something );<br>?&gt;<br>&lt;input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;bindata&quot;<br>&lt;?php<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;echo &quot;value=\&quot;.$bindata.&quot;\&quot; &gt;\n&quot;;<br>?&gt;<br></font><br>But I want to do it safely... remembering $bindata contains null and other dangerous bytes. Then I want to decode that in the receiving form:<br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>&lt;?php<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;$data = unserialize( $bindata );<br>?&gt;<br></font><br>What pair of functions can I use to code/decode the serialized data to safe Latin-1 text that can be written in the &lt;input&gt; tag?<br><br>SMTIA
