Description

Warning

Do not pass untrusted user input to wddx_deserialize(). Unserialization can result in code being loaded and executed due to object instantiation and autoloading, and a malicious user may be able to exploit this. Use a safe, standard data interchange format such as JSON (via json_decode() and json_encode()) if you need to pass serialized data to the user.

packet

A WDDX packet, as a string or stream.

Return Values

Returns the deserialized value which can be a string, a number or an array. Note that structures are deserialized into associative arrays.
