Can't fetch URL from database WordPress

Hi everyone in the database a column called attachments stores data like this

"a:3:{s:6:"saveTo";s:7:"wpmedia";s:14:"attachmentType";s:6:"images";s:11:"attachments";a:1:{i:0;a:6:{s:12:"attachmentId";i:176165;s:4:"file";s:68:"https://www.yallamission.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/MG_00283.jpg";s:8:"fileName";s:12:"MG_00283.jpg";s:9:"thumbnail";s:76:"https://www.yallamission.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/MG_00283-150x150.jpg";s:8:"fileSize";s:9:"292.85 KB";s:8:"fileType";s:10:"image/jpeg";}}}

i need to fetch the image url only yet i am unable to do it successfully as i don’t understand this format

I tried to use php functions and substr() yet the text before and after has dynamic content and no fixed standard.

    This is serialized data and you can unserialize them and access the attachments by using unserialize($variable) and access the attachment elements.

    Use json_encode instead of serialize when building the data for INSERTing. Then use the JSON functions in SQL (if your MySQL is new enough).
