I know I can tread an object like an array to find out on it's slots - but: will it work in PHP5 (5.01, 4.x) the same way, is this feature documented? We should rather implement a function for this purpose. Boris, do you have any experiences with constructors and sessions? PHPLIB can't handle the following code, how about php4? <?php class foo() { var $mode; function foo( $mode ) { $this->mode = $mode; } } $sess->register("foo"); ?> PHPLIB would need a new slot $constructor_param() = array() that gets filled by the constructor of foo to be able to serialize the object. Or I get yet another function: get_constructor() ... Ulf -- Ulf Wendel NetUSE Kommunikationstechnologie GmbH Siemenswall, D-24107 Kiel, Germany Fon: +49 431 386435 00 -- Fax: +49 431 386435 99
