What kind of data format is this (colon and semicolon separated entries)?
问题 I'm integrating two poorly documented systems, and in the process I've come across a strange data format I haven't seen before. It's stored as plain text in the db with no indication as to what the format is and how to deal with it. a:17:{s:2:"id";s:27:"145219921F990B11C39E7220000";s:16:"purchase_country";s:2:"no";s:17:"purchase_currency";s:3:"nok";s:6:"locale";s:5:"nb-no";s:6:"status";s:17:"checkout_complete";s:9:"reference";s:27:"145212221F990B11C39E7221000";s:11:"reservation";s:10:
