PHP Serialize Port in Lua

I was looking around for quite a while trying to find a serialization port for lua. Well, I found one. I just wanted to share it with you guys (Sorry this post isn't very long :P/>)

The link: http://pastebin.com/De0R0CaC

Just incase you didn't know about the Serialization functions in PHP: To use it just use "Serialize(array)" and it will return the serialize table as a string. Then use "Unserialize(string)" and it will return that array.

What does this do that textutils.serialize and .unserialize don't do?

this isnt as good as the default one

textutils has this. The format of the serialized data is just the lua syntax for creating the same table.

This serializes tables in the same format as PHP's serialize() function (I assume). This means that it is easier to communicate data with HTTP requests.

That's what JSON is for. :)/> (yes, I know it was made for JS, but it'll do fine in PHP :P/>)

Yeah I know, I use JSON all the time (not with Lua but with PHP and Javascript).
