You can consider msgpack (http://msgpack.org/) as well.

Great article – serialization is restricted by my host, and all of these alternatives should work. Thank you!

I wonder whether point #2 and point #3 are truly serializing the variables – I’ve only used serialize($str) and unserialize($str) to serialize/unserialize variables – I suspect most (if not all) programmers do.

I think the Eval serialize/unserialize is completely inefficient.

And if you like XML, you also could used WDDX : http://php.net/manual/fr/book.wddx.php.
