How to deserialize data in PHP which is serialized by GSON

I am working on android app with api developed in PHP. I am trying to send an object to api, so I am serializing it with Gson library, and trying to deserialize in PHP code using Unserialize() function. But, its giving error as (!)Notice: unserialize(): Error at offset 0 of 468 bytes in C:\wamp64\www\digiclass\admin\api\upload_pending_results.php on line 5 and finally giving json response as {"error":false,"data":false} Here is my PHP code:

<?php
//an array to display response
$response = array();
$serObject = $_POST['serObject'];
$response['error'] = false;
$response['data'] = unserialize($serObject);
echo json_encode($response);
?>

currently, I am not performing any operation on data, rather only want to see if the data is deserializing correctly. I have tried to see the serialized object, it is converted as below.

I am not sure if the conversion is going right or what the error might be. Can anyone help?

The value you are getting is a URL encode JSON string, so first decode it...

$serObject = urldecode($serObject);

and then decode it as JSON...

$response['data'] = json_decode($serObject, true);
