How to unserialize PHP session in node.js?

Question

I am storing the PHP $_SESSION data in a database.

Then from a Node.js server I want to take that data and unserialize it.

I tried to use js-php-unserialize like this:

con.query('SELECT user_id, data ' + 
            'FROM sessions ' +
            'WHERE session_id = ? AND session_id IS NOT NULL AND user_id IS NOT NULL'
          , [tokenId] , function(queryError, rows){

    if(queryError){
      throw queryError;
    }

    console.log(rows[0].data);
    return;
    var data;

    if(rows[0]){
      data = PHPUnserialize.unserialize(rows[0].data);
      var now = Math.floor(new Date() / 1000);

      if(data.MA_IDLE_TIMEOUT < now){
        throw 'The session Times out!';
      }

      if(myIP != data.MA_IP_ADDRESS){
        throw 'This session have been hijacked!';
      }

But this keeps throwing this error:

SyntaxError: Unknown / Unhandled data type(s): m

Here is the data that I am trying to unserialize:

MA_IP_ADDRESS|s:10:"10.0.4.195";MA_USER_AGENT|s:72:"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1;
 WOW64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0";MA_IDLE_TIMEOUT|i:1442101764;

How can I correct this issue?

Answer 1

Use .unserializeSession() instead of .unserialize().
