Hi all. I was just wondering why my attempts to serialize DomDocument objects have failed? Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

what does serializing exactly mean for you? $serializedxml = $domdocument->saveXML(); should serialize it to a string.

i want to serialize a whole DomDocument _object_ using the serialize() function. something like: $domDoc = new DomDocument() $domDoc->load('foo.xml') file_put_contents('file', serialize($domDoc))

which is almost the same as $domDoc = new DomDocument() $domDoc->load('foo.xml') file_put_contents('file', $domDoc->saveXML()) chregu

I am also unable to save DomDocument's in session variables (not that I want to do that or anything, just testing). I get "Warning: Couldn't fetch domdocument in..." when i try to use the object after storing it.

not possible, never will be possible (AFAIK).

ok. i'm not bothered about that because i'd never want to do it. i was just testing whether it was possible after my attempts at serialize()ing failed. neill. _________________________________________________________________ Get Hotmail on your mobile phone http://www.msn.co.uk/msnmobile
