Php supports 'serialize' which also does the same thing. The real trick is to get the data you read and converted from yaml or XML or CSV or whatever format, back into WP as a post -- which requires setting up a a wp_insert_post() call for each one -- including adding all the related post meta, etc. If you don't use the standard XML import, you'll have to custom code your import and export process. | |
