Well it seems like u made a mess there with arrays...
<?
$first[] = array('appple', 'pear', 'banana');
$second = serialize($first);
$third[]= unserialize($second);
echo $second; //outputs serialized data
echo $third[1];
?>
>From definition of first I understand it's an array of arrays with
element on position 0 (ZERO) set to an array of apple, pear, banana
elements.
If u serialize it and unserialize it you will obtain same thing...
so at the end of the script you should
echo $third[0];
