Re: Re: issues with __sleep() and __wakeup()

cool. you and i were talking about two different things. you are using __sleep and __wakeup by issuing the serialize and unserialize commands yourself. i am using __sleep and __wakeup when php automatically issues them itself when using sessions. it is my experience that if you have an object and you register that object as a session variable, and you do _not_ have a __sleep function, then everything works fine. this is different from having a __sleep function and not returning anything (or the wrong thing) mike on 8/1/01 9:32 AM, scott [gts] at scott@graphictype.com wrote: > i added a (hopefully helpfull) addition to the > online notes regarding magic-functions: > http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.magic-functions.php > > Here's what i posted, if anyone's interested: > > Here is a sample class and some test statements to > demonstrate how __sleep() is used. > > If you do not return anything from __sleep(), your > object will *not* be serialized.
