Below programs illustrate the SplDoublyLinkedList::unserialize() function in PHP:
Program 1:




<?php
   
// Declare an empty SplDoublyLinkedList 
$list = new SplDoublyLinkedList();
   
// Use SplDoublyLinkedList::push() function to  
// add elements to the SplDoublyLinkedList 
$list->push(1); 
$list->push(2); 
$list->push(3); 
$list->push(8); 
$list->push(5); 
   
// Use SplDoublyLinkedList::serialize() function
// to serialize the object
$serialize = serialize($list);
  
echo $serialize . "\n";
  
// Use SplDoublyLinkedList::unserialize() function
// to unserialize the object
$unserialze = unserialize($serialize);
  
print_r($unserialze);
  
?>


Output:

C:19:"SplDoublyLinkedList":29:{i:0;:i:1;:i:2;:i:3;:i:8;:i:5;}
SplDoublyLinkedList Object
(
    [flags:SplDoublyLinkedList:private] => 0
    [dllist:SplDoublyLinkedList:private] => Array
        (
            [0] => 1
            [1] => 2
            [2] => 3

$list->add(1, "to"); 
$list->add(2, "neveropen"); 
$list->add(3, "A"); 
$list->add(4, 'Computer'); 
$list->add(5, "Science"); 
$list->add(6, 'Portal'); 
   
// Use SplDoublyLinkedList::serialize() function
// to serialize the object
$serialize = serialize($list);
  
echo $serialize . "\n";
  
// Use SplDoublyLinkedList::unserialize() function
// to unserialize the object
$unserialze = unserialize($serialize);
  
print_r($unserialze);
  
?>


Output:

C:19:”SplDoublyLinkedList”:105:{i:0;:s:7:”Welcome”;:s:2:”to”;:s:13:”neveropen”;:s:1:”A”;:s:8:”Computer”;:s:7:”Science”;:s:6:”Portal”;}
