note 19241 added to language.oop.serialization

A quick note about automatic serialisation in sessions. If you have an object $myCart = new ShoppingCart(); and this object contains variables which are objects function ShoppingCart() { $mySingleItem = new BasketItem(); } this will work fine and you can access the contained object $mySingleItem and its methods etc ONLY WHILE YOU ARE ON THE PAGE WHERE YOU CREATED IT. if you are using sessions and register the cart session_register('myCart') the ShoppingCart object is serialised and unserialised on the next page ok but the inner BasketItem object is just garbled. The only solution I have found is to use an array in the ShoppingCart instead of an object.
