array (
  'Choice' => 
  array (
    0 => 'First',
    1 => 'Second',
  ),
  'fcode' => 'form_rajas_exmsw2rpc81anlj',
  'useremail' => '[email protected]',
)

my php code

$arrays = 'a:3:{s:6:"Choice";a:2:{i:0;s:5:"First";i:1;s:6:"Second";}s:5:"fcode";s:26:"form_rajas_exmsw2rpc81anlj";s:9:"useremail";s:26:"[email protected]";}';

$decode = unserialize($arrays);

If $value is an array, you need a nested loop.

foreach ($decode as $key => $value) {
    if (!is_array($value)) {
        $value = array($valule);
    }
    foreach ($value as $subvalue) {
        echo "<td width='100'>$subvalue</td>";
    }
}

If you can have multiple levels of nesting, you should write a recursive function that handles each level.

If you want a sub-array to be shown as a comma-separated list, you can use implode.

foreach ($decode as $key => $value) {
    if (is_array($value)) {
        $value = implode(', ', $value);
    }
    echo "<td width='100'>$subvalue</td>";
}

you have nested array populated with elements of diferent size so you will always get an error. so in your foreach loop, you can check if the value is an array or not, like for instance 

if (count($value)>1){
//code here like for instance echo $value[0]...
}//not recomended becuse an array can have only one value, but you can if you know you will put at least 2

or

if(is_array($value)..

Me I will do the following:

foreach($thing as $thingy =>$that){
   //check if array or not
   if(is_array($that)){
       foreach($that as $t)
             //do whatever
   }else
      //do whatever
}
