My coding isn’t the best in the world, but I know…[Read more]

You know, I was using explode() later on to extract the individual elements – don’t know why I didn’t think of using implode() to clean up the array. Thanks @hnla – that works now. For reference, here is the full code – basically this uses the data derived from checkboxes in the member’s profile (in […]

Thanks for your help (I put it in the theme’s functions.php by the way)

I’ve tried maybe_unserialize and unserialize but with no luck.

Note that the code works […]
