maybe_unserialize(),

Dear Dev-Team,

we are having troubles writing the correct “data” into our database.
our code input is:
maybe_unserialize(‘a:1:{i:0;s:5:”‘.$post->ID.'”‘),

But the output looks different:
s:20:”a:1:{i:0;s:5:”24334″”;

The above code need to look like: a:1:{i:0;s:5:”24334″;}
But it does always pre-add the s:20:”STRING” to our string.

Is there any solution available NOT adding the s:20:?
Many thanks.
