What potential issues can arise when using commas as separators in PHP sessions?

When using commas as separators in PHP sessions, potential issues can arise if the data being stored in the session contains commas itself. To solve this issue, you can serialize the data before storing it in the session and unserialize it when retrieving it. 

// Serialize data before storing in session
$data = array('key1' => 'value1', 'key2' => 'value2');
$serialized_data = serialize($data);
$_SESSION['serialized_data'] = $serialized_data;

// Unserialize data when retrieving from session
$serialized_data = $_SESSION['serialized_data'];
$data = unserialize($serialized_data);

// Access the data
echo $data['key1']; // Output: value1
