Note Submitter: mastabog at hotmail dot com ---- Horrible mistake I made with my previous post. PHP5 *does* automatically call __sleep() on all objects stored by simple assignment inside $_SESSION when the session closes (it has been fixed, was a bug some time ago). The same way __wakeup() is automatically called when the session opens. No need to manually call serialize() over the object prior to saving (unless you have specific reasons). My apologies. Maybe an authorised person can delete the first part of my previous post. Thanks.
