You must be too tired. Accessing object properties in session database, _NOT_ method. It should be able to access properties. Otherwise, users aren't able to write session data admin apps with PHP. It also possible users may have application intentionally using incomplete object because complete object is not needed for the page. Thus, current code may break these optimized scripts. Therefore, I think it may be ok with E_NOTICE instead of E_WARNING. Anyway, here is a patch to make is_object() return false for incomplete objects. Any comments? -- Yasuo Ohgaki
