Would one of the more knowledgeable folk discuss when it is 
appropriate to use implode/explode and when it is appropriate to 
use serialize/unserialize.

It seems that for 1D arrays implode is better in that is only 
adds 1 character per array element and serialize adds many.

For objects, serialze is the only way to go.

in between ?
