Example: class UserInfo { var $firstname, $fname; function UserInfo() { $fname = &$firstname; // Create reference } } The alias "fname" will not work correctly in the next page request. 2. Notification of session events. Ideally, an object which has been deserialized would be notified of this, either externally through a registered callback, or introspectively by calling an object's "onDeserialization()" method. 3. Per-object serialization. PHP's introspection functionality is powerful enough to detect if an object has a "[de]serialize()" method, for example. If so, the object can provide it's own [de]serialization. It would be nice if the session handler could do this automatically. -John
