Weird Array/String Return in PHP - Can't parse it to associative array -

this question has answer here:

• what kind of string this? how unserialize string? [duplicate] 2 answers

so i've got series of seem arrays coming out of csv document. farthest can break down this:

a:11:{i:0;a:6:{s:4:"name";s:10:"first name";s:5:"value";s:4:"mark"}i:10;b:0;}

i'm not sure how these strings/arrays @ associative arrays.

this serialized php array. can use unserialize restore array. after $array[0]["name"] equal first name example.
