title: to unserialize data is it necessary to have the same array structure from which it save in to database
body: <p>I used a component of Joomla for CCKT, it store data after serialize() it,</p>
  
  <p>on the other side I am using another component for generating csv &amp; xls file which convert all the sql data in to csv.</p>
  
  <p>so when i call those data which are stored in db as a serialise it shows in xls also as a serialise &amp; <strong>i want them unserialise</strong></p>
  
  <p><em><strong>so the question is it necessary that the component which generate xls &amp; csv should know the array of the serialise to convert it in un-serialise..??</em></strong></p>
