The object is actually a of class __PHP_Incomplete_Class, as reported by get_class(), Reflection and var_export(). Also, the error when using any method of an instance of __PHP_Incomplete_Class reports it's happening in "main", and links to the definition of "main" on PHP.net, which itself states this shouldn't happen. A script to reproduce this can be found on the manual page for object serialization. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44970&edit=1
