 * Just learning WP so sorry if this is a stupid question. I am trying to create
   a csv file for orders that were taken so I can import that into Fedex. I can 
   create everything needed except I cannot grab the length, width, height as they
   are buried in a long string of data. Can anyone help me with getting it out? 
   I have tried json_decode() and unserialize () (found both of those in these forums),
   but I’m either not doing them or it isn’t the right approach. This is what’s 
   stored in the database: (sorry it’s so long). I can see length in there, I can
   see width and height. I just can’t figure out how to get it out. If anyone could
   help (in really simple terms, this is all new), I would so appreciate it.

   code, and for any code (short only) posted here, please use the backticks or 
   code buttons.
