The PHP serialization format is the serialization format used by the PHP programming language. The format can serialize PHP's primitive and compound types, and also properly serializes references. The format was first introduced in PHP 4. In addition to PHP, the format is also used by some third-party applications that are often integrated with PHP applications, for example by Lucene/Solr.

For the associative array, the format is ; , repeated for each association/pair in the array. ==References==
