The behaviour of these functions is affected by settings in `php.ini`.

Table 1. Variables Configuration Options

Name | Default | Changeable | Changelog
--- | --- | --- | ---
unserialize_callback_func | NULL | PHP_INI_ALL | Available since PHP 4.2.0.

For further details and definitions of the PHP_INI_* constants, see the Appendix G.

Here's a short explanation of the configuration directives.

unserialize_callback_func string

  The unserialize() callback function will called (with the undefined class' name as parameter), if the unserializer finds an undefined class which should be instanciated. A warning appears if the specified function is not defined, or if the function doesn't include/implement the missing class. So only set this entry, if you really want to implement such a callback-function.

  See also unserialize().
