You shouldn't have to unserialize anything in PHP from the jquery serialize
method. If you serialize the data, it should be sent to PHP as query parameters if you are using a GET method ajax request or post vars if you are using a POST ajax request. So in PHP, you would access values like $_POST["varname"]
or $_GET["varname"]
depending on the request type.
The serialize
method just takes the form elements and puts them in string form. "varname=val&var2=val2"
