I have some data I want to serialize but I want to combine them.

something like
serialize($data1).serialize($data2)

and then later on I need to deserialize them back into two seperate
variables. I'm not sure how I can go about this? Obviously I could seperate
them by some token and use that but I'm not sure how safe it is. Is there a
better method? or a token that I know I can used.

I guess I could do something like this

$str = serialize(array(serialize($data1), serialize($data2)))

then
$t = unserialize($str);
$data1 = unserialize($t[0]);
$data2 = unserialize($t[1]);

but seems like the long way around?

Thanks,
Jon
