I have the following Class: class MyClass { function store_myself() { $query = 'INSERT INTO mytable ( myfield ) VALUES ( ' . $this . ')'; $result = mssql_query( $query ); } } which works. Kind of. What I expected was a serialized copy of the object to be stored in the column myfield. However, what I am actually seeing is simply the word 'Object'. How can I get it so that the serialize copy is stored so that I can retrieve that copy later and use it as a PHP object? thnx, Chris
