In PHP, how do I serialize strings in Laravel?

In Laravel, you can serialize strings (or any PHP variable) using the serialize() function. This function can be particularly useful when you want to store complex data structures or when you need a consistent way to convert a variable into a string for data transfer.

Here’s how you can use the serialize() function in PHP:


         'John', 'age' => 30, 'email' => 'john@example.com'];
        $serializedData = serialize($data);
        
        // Output: a serialized string
        echo $serializedData;
        ?>
