Hi,

a) use an option var to map classname=>'toXMLmethod' -- if this is set use it. (if it returns an array, - use that via the serialize array method..)

I'm not sure if I understand, what you want to be included. Is it: serialize( $myObj, array( "serializeMethod" => "myPersonalToXML" );

$serializer = new XML_SimpleSerializer(array( // methods specific to classes. 'methods' => array(

      'myclass1'  => 'quickToXML',
      'myclass2'  => 'fullToXML'

), // default method 'method' => 'toXML' ); $serializer->toXML($data);

and then: $data = $myObj->myPersonalToXML(), if this method exists. Or would you prefer a hash table where a methodname for each class could be specified?

b) attempt to look for a toXML method -- if there is one - use it.

I'll surely implment this.

+1 = I can see this being usefull for a few things..

Me too :-) Stephan
