Description

make an object with data like this

$data = (object) array('primary'=>'blah','data'=>array(1,38243,238,'foo'));
add_post_meta($post_id, 'testmeta', $data);
get_post_meta($post_id, 'testmeta');

You get errors of the sort…
[20-May-2010 16:50:14] PHP Catchable fatal error: Object of class stdClass could not be converted to string in /home/wpdev/public_html/wp-includes/formatting.php on line 1229
[20-May-2010 16:50:14] PHP Stack trace:

[20-May-2010 16:50:14] PHP 4. add_post_meta()

[20-May-2010 16:50:14] PHP 7. stripslashes() /home/wpdev/public_html/wp-includes/formatting.php:1229

when deserializing, you get nothing. If you deserialize an array of objects, you'll get an array back where the first value is the serialize with all objects replaced with "Object" and subsequent values containing serialized strings of the rest of the content.

(Note: I put this in Post Types because I don't know what component meta is attached to. Please reassign bug if wrong.)
