Exactly what part of this is confusing you?
When you first request the page, $_POST is empty, so you end up with a serialized value of "a:0:{}" which has a length of 6.
When you submit the form, you end up with a serialized value of:
a:1:{s:3:"foo";s:3:"bar";}which has a length of 26. Maybe I missed something in this thread, but what's the issue here?

Check this out:
bash-2.05$ cat test.php <?php
function jpcache_debug2($s2)
{
$length = strlen($s2);
$length++;
$headers = "X-CacheDebug-five: $length";
header($headers);
print $length . "\n";
print strlen($s2);
} $myVariable = serialize($_POST);
jpcache_debug2($myVariable);?>
<html> <body>
<form method="POST" action="test.php" enc-type="multipart/form-data"> <input type="hidden" name="foo" value="bar"> <input type="submit" value="blah"> </form> </body> </html>
bash-2.05$

How the bloody hell is $length being treated differently?

I think I've boiled my problem....for some reason I can't header() a serialized $_POST variable
Running PHP 5.0 Final (and also tested with 4.3.3):
-- begin file --
<?php
function jpcache_debug2($s) { header("X-CacheDebug-five: $s"); print $s; }
$myVariable = serialize($_POST); jpcache_debug2($myVariable);
?>
<html> <body>
<form method="POST" action="test-error.php"> <input type="hidden" name="foo" value="bar"> <input type="submit" value="blah"> </form> </body> </html>
-- end file --

Anyone know why my header() output behaves so funky?
Thanks,
Eric
Try to use unserialize();
