I just want to ask about a complex string that saved in database when recipe inserted.
This string represents some part of recipe, like recipe_ingredients and recipe_instructions (in wp_postmeta table). I want to read that directly from database, but i dont know how to do this. Is there any other way to parse this ? Which grammar used to create and read this string ? And why this is not JSON ?
This is basically just a serialized array, which is how WordPress saves this by default.
You can use the unserialize() PHP function to get a normal array again.
Kind regards,
Brecht
