I'm not 100% sure about the validity of this issue yet; however there is a hint about its existence so I wanted to note it.

Its pretty neat however, serialize() function in php displays nothing if the text isn't serialized. you can check out the script here: http://anigaiku.com/serialize.php I created a script for playing around with these functions a while back.

The question is what format is better to store your data in? Should you store the comment form data in a table using serialize() or using separate fields, or should you store the data in a flat text file using serialize() or a delimiter? If your comment form has a fixed set of fields that probably won't change over time, then I'd use defined fields (table or flat file) instead of serializing. If the data you're collecting will change over time, then serialize may be a better option.

Would you use serialize function for a simple script that records comments instead of building full table with all the necessary columns? Nice article.
