Actually, that is a serialized array and if you do a search you can get information on how this is put together.

Here I will break down some of what you posted, which actually appears to be incorrect. I’m basing this on what you posted, so, this is just general. Also

a:76:{
array:76 elements:{

i:0;
integer: value = 0

s:4:"7992";
string: string length: string value

See http://php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php look at the user comments for more explanations.

If the value is not properly serialized, if there is an error, then the entire value is ignored as if it does not exist. Trying to unserialize the string you created causes an internal server error, which is odd, must be something
