note 116756 added to language.oop5.serialization

Reading this page you'd be left with the impression that a class's serialize and unserialize methods are unrelated to the serialize and unserialize core functions; that only __sleep and __unsleep allow you to customize an object's serialization interface. But look at http://php.net/manual/en/class.serializable.php and you'll see that there is a more straightforward way to control how a user-defined object is serialized and unserialized. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 208.247.73.130 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.serialization.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/116756 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116756/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116756/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116756/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116756/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116756/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116756/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/116756 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/116756 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
