(from http://php.net/serialize) serialize - Generates a storable representation of a value Description string serialize (mixed value) Serialize() returns a string containing a byte-stream representation of value that can be stored anywhere. This is useful for storing or passing PHP values around without losing their type and structure. To make the serialized string into a PHP value again, use unserialize(). Serialize() handles the types integer, double, string, array (multidimensional) and object (object properties will be serialized, but methods are lost). --- Mark Roedel | "A wise man once told me that everything in Systems Programmer | life is either a lesson or a joke.
