<p class="para">
Do not pass untrusted user input to <span class="function"><strong>wddx_deserialize()</strong></span>.
Unserialization can result in code being loaded and executed due to object
instantiation and autoloading, and a malicious user may be able to exploit
this. Use a safe, standard data interchange format such as JSON (via
<span class="function"><a href="function.json-decode.html" class="function">json_decode()</a></span> and <span class="function"><a href="function.json-encode.html" class="function">json_encode()</a></span>) if
you need to pass serialized data to the user.
