Method decode_value()

Method decode_value

mixed decode_value(string coded_value, void|Codec codec)

Description

Decode a value from the string coded_value.

This function takes a string created with encode_value() or encode_value_canonic() and converts it back to the value that was coded.

If codec is specified, it's used as the codec for the decode. If none is specified, then one is instantiated through master()->Decoder(). As a compatibility fallback, the master itself is used if it has no Decoder class.
