From: matthias dot hoseit at comline dot de Operating system: Windows 2000 PHP version: 5.0.2 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: serialize doesn't work on internal classes Description: ------------ The function serialize() doesn't work on internal classes. For example serializing a DOMDocument object return a byte-stream with an empty value ("O:11:"DOMDocument":0:{}").
