    Hi,

    I am trying to use the ‘Export the value returned by a PHP function’ feature to unserialize data on export using the maybe_unserialize php function.

    The preview unserializes the fields properly, but in the export file the fields are blank.

    Have I done something wrong or is this a bug?

    Hi,

    Thanks for getting in touch.

    unserialize gives array as output and csv not supported array format. So i suggest change back to other format like json format or other format

    Let me know if you have any questions

    Thanks and have a nice day

    Thanks very much for the super fast reply!

    I’ve tried all formats, actually, and none export this data. json, xls, xlsx, csv, and ods contain blank fields, the XML drops them (because they are empty). I put “maybe_unserialize” into the “Export the value returned by a PHP function” field.

    The field data in preview without “maybe_unserialize” set (note that this is what exports) is as follows:

    a:1:{i:0;s:9:”Australia”;}

    Here is the same field in preview with “maybe_unserialize” set:

    Australia

    Hi, any further update? We want to buy the pro version for our sites to get the ACF compatibility, but not if we can’t deal with serialized fields.

    Thanks,

    Tony

    Hi,

    I’ve been thinking about this issue, and have uncovered the issue. While reviewing the features in the pro version (per my post, above) I noticed that ACF support is included. The fields that aren’t correctly unserializing are ACF fields.

    We’ve just purchased the pro plugin, and they are unserializing as expected.

    Apologies for this, and FYI in case anyone else comes across a similar issue.

    Cheers,
    Tony
