Serialized PHP value: Go parsing library

A serialized PHP value, in the format used by PHP's built-in serialize and unserialize functions. This format closely mirrors PHP's data model: it supports all of PHP's scalar types (NULL, booleans, numbers, strings), associative arrays, objects, and recursive data structures using references. The only PHP values not supported by this format are resources, which usually correspond to native file or connection handles and cannot be meaningfully serialized.

There is no official documentation for this data format; this spec was created based on the PHP source code and the behavior of serialize/unserialize. PHP makes no guarantees about compatibility of serialized data between PHP versions, but in practice, the format has remained fully backwards-compatible - values serialized by an older PHP version can be unserialized on any newer PHP version. This spec supports serialized values from PHP 7.3 or any earlier version.
