Hello Chris Thanks for responding.
But what file extension should I use for PHP's serialization format? Obviously it can't be .php - aside from being inaccurate (it's not PHP code), using this extension would probably trigger the web server into trying to run a (nonexistent) PHP script. You can rewrite the url using mod_rewrite or some such variant to handle this.
Yes, there may well be ways to get round what the web server would otherwise do when it encounters a .php extension, but I feel that I'd be breaking an expectation. I'd much rather use an extension that was specific to the serialization format. Hamish
