 * 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.
