Note Submitter: Eric at Footsteps dot nl ---- It appears, that although __wakeup() can read from global defined variables // global $variable; , changing those variables don't affect them outside __wakeup(). The same thing seems to happen when an object is being serialized in a session when you start your session. if your __wakeup() function tries to set something within your session it might get overwritten/lost. In my situation it happened when an object in an object in a session tried to change a session variable on __wakup(). In my case, putting the variable in $GLOBAL and moving the variable in the session at a later time, is a satisfying workaround.
