<html>
<h2>string serialize (mixed value)</h2>

<?

$hash = array (
	foo => "bar" , 
	goo => "car" 
);

// print '<h3>' . $hash['foo'] . '</h3>'; // prints 'bar' ;-)

///// serialize
$sh = serialize ($hash);

print $sh . '<br> <br>';

///// unserialize
$backhash = unserialize($sh);

var_dump($backhash);

print '<br> <br>';

while (list($key, $value) = each ($backhash)) {
	print "<b>$key</b> = «$value» <br>\n";
}

?>
</html>

}

function getFile($fname, $legacy=false) {
        $tmp = "";

        if ($legacy) {
            $modes = "rt";
        } else {

                        $tmp .= fread($fd, 65536);
                }
