the chinese string length incorrect

[1036202457]

here is my code:
String result = Pherialize.serialize("中文字长度");
here is the execute result:
"s:5:"中文字长度";"
and in php 5.6.9 the serialize result is:
s:15:"中文字长度";

Yeah, any string above ASCII range is wrong. Unserialization also have the same problems, they get characters beyond the string. It should be read by bytes instead of characters.

Serialization is easy to solve, just do a getBytes().length; on the string. The problem is the unserilization.

EDIT: I think for unserialization the best bet is

int index, length; // the index where the string starts, and the length found.

String aux = input.substring(index);
byte[] bytes = aux.getBytes();
String result = new String(Arrays.copyOfRange(bytes, 0, length));

I rewrite the unserializeString function and it works now on my side

private Mixed unserializeString()
{
int pos, length;

    pos = this.data.indexOf(':', this.pos + 2);
    length = Integer.parseInt(this.data.substring(this.pos + 2, pos));
    
    int startPos = pos+2;
    int lastEndPos = pos+2+length;
	String original = this.data.substring(startPos, lastEndPos);
	// BigChar means characters occupy more than one byte
	//e.g. Chinese characters. The length defined in serialization are for byte (one Chinese character use more than one byte), but the "charAt" function is for codePoint(one Chinese character is on codePoint)
	// Actually, this is not the exact number of bigchar because in some encoding, one Character need 3 or more bytes. But for solving this issue, this doesn't matter.
	int numberOfBigChar = original.getBytes().length - length; 
	String actual = this.data.substring(startPos, lastEndPos-numberOfBigChar);
	
    this.pos = pos + length + 4 - numberOfBigChar;
    return new Mixed(actual);
}

Chinese serialization and anti - serialization is not resolved? Pherialize.serialize () method serialization, PHP unserialize parsing does not come out.

It looks like this repository is abandoned. I came with the same issues, so I wrote this library:

@marcospassos your library does not support deserialization from what I can read. This issue is not about serialization
