title: Serialized .NET class to PHP
body: <p>I am getting some serialized .NET class string data from a source and I just need to turn it into something readable in PHP. Doesn't necessarily have to be turned into an "object" or JSON but I need to read it somehow. I think the .NET string is just a class with some set properties but it is binary and not portable obviously. I'm not looking to convert .NET code to PHP code. Here is an example of the data:</p>
  
  <pre><code>U:?�S�@��-��v�Y��?������An�@AMAUI������
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I realize this is actually binary and not printable text. I'm just using this as an example of what I see when catting the file.</p>
