## Runtime Configuration

The behaviour of these functions is affected by settings in php.ini.

Variables Configuration Options
Name | Default | Changeable | Changelog
--- | --- | --- | ---
unserialize_callback_func | `null` | PHP_INI_ALL |
unserialize_max_depth | "4096" | PHP_INI_ALL | Available as of PHP 7.4.0.

For further details and definitions of the PHP_INI_* modes, see the Where a configuration setting may be set.

Here's a short explanation of the configuration directives.

`unserialize_callback_func` string

  The callback specified is called when unserialize() attempts to use an undefined class. A warning appears if the specified callback function is not defined, or if the callback function fails to define the missing class.

  See also unserialize() and Autoloading Classes.

`unserialize_max_depth` int

  The maximum depth of structures permitted during unserialization when using unserialize(), and is intended to prevent stack overflows. This can be disabled by setting `unserialize_max_depth=0`.
