Text values in a BLOB field

[darkmatter]

I need to retrieve text data from a BLOB in MySql and unfortunately I didn’t create the db. When I get the data, this is what it looks like…

a:1:{i:3;s:18:“[email protected]”;}
a:1:{i:3;s:24:“[email protected]”;}
a:1:{i:3;s:19:“[email protected]”;}

and this is what I need…

[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

Anyone know how I can parse that out? I am probably missing something simple but it’s really kicking my tail. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

And yes, those are bogus email addys… changed to protect the innocent

This seem to be serialized array. Try to apply unserialize() function to each of these values and see how you can retrieve email address by array index:
[php]

<?php $arr = unserialize('a:1:{i:3;s:18:"[email protected]";}'); echo '

';
print_r($arr);
echo '

'; ?>

[/php]
This will give you entire array in format index => value
