There are incompatibilities between 4 and 5 with respect to unserialize,
though I thought it was forward incompatibility and not backward. For
instance PHP didn't mind unserializing integer keys that were denoted as
strings, whereas PHP 5 would choke unless the key was serialized
specifically as an integer when all it contained was integer digits. I
don't know what your exact problem is, but it could be an
incompatibility issue. Also PHP5 may have added extra datatypes or
"magic" to the serialization process that PHP4 may not recognize. Maybe
turn your error logging to max to see if you get an error message
indicating corruption.
Cheers,
Rob.
