problem with unserialize()

[petey]

Has anybody had this problem? Here's what's going on:

I serialize a large object and save it to the file system using this code:

if ($fp = fopen($objfile, 'w'))
fputs($fp, serialize($obj)); fclose($fp);

Then I read it back from the disk using this code:

$obj = unserialize(implode("", @file($objfile)));

This barfed whenever the serialized string contained a newline, because evidentally the newline was saved as "\n\r", and that carriage return was screwing up the unserialization. (I'm running Apache/PHP locally on my Windows XP) Here's the modified code that avoids this problem:

$obj = unserialize(str_replace("\r",'',implode("", @file($objfile))));

Anybody have any comments on this?
