In Drupal 7, for some reason, i am storing some serialize($node) objects into Database. So these data in the database (in text column) are storing like:

O:8:"stdClass":47:{s:3:"vid";s:5:"78629";s:3:"uid";s:3:"523";s:5:"title";s:12:"Sync Node #6";s:6:"status";i:1;s:3:"nid";s:5:"77429";s:4:"type";s:4:"page";s:8:"language"; ..... etc
  • Now how can i transform these data back into Drupal $node Object please?
  • Then how can i node_save($node) (as new node) upon them? (What tricks will i need?)

Any idea please?

Now how can i transform these data back into Drupal $node Object please?

As said you can use the following code,

$node = unserialize($data);

Then how can i node_save($node) (as new node) upon them? (What tricks will i need?)

You can null the nid, vid and use node_save to save it as a new node like this:

$node->nid = NULL;
$node->vid = NULL;
node_save($node);

Call unserialize() on the serialized data.

Hmmm.. Then how please? – 夏期劇場 Oct 15 '12 at 6:48
Like so: $node = unserialize($data); where $data is the string that is stored in the database. – Oswald Oct 15 '12 at 6:50
But, i mean .. i can NOT node_save($node) it :/ (Then how can i node_save($node) (as new node) upon them? (What tricks will i need?)) – 夏期劇場 Oct 15 '12 at 6:55
The node already has a nid and a vid. Upon saving, node 5 is updated. Call unset($node->nid); to remove the nid before saving it to create a new node. – Oswald Oct 15 '12 at 7:02
