Problems with serialize and unserialize

[Albino]

EDIT: bah, ive posted in the wrong section, can a mod move to programming please

hey,

ok, I am saving 2 values in my cookie, like so:

$cookie = @serialize(array($u, $c));
setcookie("siteLogin", $cookie, time() + 36000, "/");

$u is username, $c is a cookie value (this is part of a remember script for logins).

now, when I come to extract it, I have this:

if (isset($_COOKIE['siteLogin'])){

    echo $_COOKIE['siteLogin']."<br />";
    echo unserialize($cookie)."<br />";
    list($u, $c) = @unserialize($cookie);
    echo "username: ".$u."  cookie: ".$c;

}

the echo is just for debugging, ive checked if the cookie contains a value, it does (and looks serialized). I can;t echo it unserialized or listed, am I doing something wrong?

here is a test url:

p: password

thanks in advance
