    <p>I have code that works on a handful of servers, but not others which is coming up with serialised data. I call a page like this:</p> <pre><code>http://domain/index.php/sales/Drilldowns?params=a:12:{s:13:"selectionType";s:8:"facility";s:8:"dateType";s:5:"daily";s:10:"dateOption";s:9:"drilldown";s:6:"metric";s:13:"bookingAmount";s:9:"companyFK";s:2:"11";s:10:"facilityFK";s:0:"";s:7:"classFK";s:0:"";s:15:"customDateStart";s:4:"null";s:7:"newDate";s:10:"2010-11-01";s:10:"metricName";s:10:"Bookings%20$";s:16:"currentDateRange";s:10:"11/01/2010";s:23:"currentMetricNavigation";s:8:"DELDELTE";}&amp;getExcel=0 </code></pre> <p>This is the code I'm using:</p> <pre><code>protected function getRequestVariables(){ if(isset($_REQUEST['params'])){ var_dump($_REQUEST['params']); echo 'length:'.strlen($_REQUEST['params']); $vars = unserialize($_REQUEST['params']); var_dump($vars); } else { $vars = $_REQUEST; // unset saved drilldown options $this-&gt;ci-&gt;session-&gt;svar_set('postVars', null); } </code></pre> <p>This is a <code>var_dump</code> output:</p> <pre><code>string(447) "a:12:{s:13:\"selectionType\";s:8:\"facility\";s:8:\"dateType\";s:5:\"daily\";s:10:\"dateOption\";s:9:\"drilldown\";s:6:\"metric\";s:13:\"bookingAmount\";s:9:\"companyFK\";s:2:\"11\";s:10:\"facilityFK\";s:0:\"\";s:7:\"classFK\";s:0:\"\";s:15:\"customDateStart\";s:4:\"null\";s:7:\"newDate\";s:10:\"2010-11-01\";s:10:\"metricName\";s:10:\"Bookings $\";s:16:\"currentDateRange\";s:10:\"11/01/2010\";s:23:\"currentMetricNavigation\";s:8:\"DELDELTE\";}" </code></pre> <p>When that gets processed I get the following error:</p> <blockquote> <p>A PHP Error was encountered<br> Severity: Notice Message: unserialize() [function.unserialize]: Error at offset 6 of 447 bytes<br> Filename: plugins/Drilldowns.php<br> Line Number: 93</p> </blockquote> <p>I'm trying this on 5.2.13 - works on some Linux, some OS X, not others. Have checked php.ini, charset (I think) - I can't figure it out for the life of me. I've tried things as simple as </p> <pre><code>string(18) "a:1:{s:3:\"sam\";}" length:18 </code></pre> <p>and it still errors. Any clue as to why?</p>

    2. COWe need the code. It is probably something platform or version specific if it works just on some servers.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
