Here's what we are using to unserialize the session.

<?php
function unserialize_session($val) {
$result = array();

// prefixing with semicolon to make it easier to write the regular expression
$val = ';' . $val;

// regularexpression to find the keys
$keyreg = '/;([^|{}"]+)\|/';

// find all keys
$matches = array();
preg_match_all($keyreg, $val, $matches);

// only go further if we found some keys
if (isset($matches[1])) {
$keys = $matches[1];

// find the values by splitting the input on the key regular expression
$values = preg_split($keyreg, $val);

// unshift the first value since it's always empty (due to our semicolon prefix)
if (count($values) > 1) {
array_shift($values);
}

// combine the $keys and $values
$result = array_combine($keys, $values);
}

return
$result;
}
?>
