note 6267 deleted from unserialize by ronabop

In php4.0.1pl2, how can I determine the intended type of an unserialized object that no class has been defined for? Do I have to manually parse the serialized string?<P>In php3 and 4.0.0 I could access the variables of the object, one of which I set to the type of the object, then I could include the appropriate class file and create the object at runtime. In php4.0.1pl2 this is not permitted. It's not an option to include every possible class that the serialized object could be before unserializing the object.
