Yes, it is possible. Example: <? # save session include "foo.class.php"; session_start(); session_register("a"); $a = new foo; $a->bar = 10; ?> <? # restore session include "foo.class.php"; session_start(); var_dump($a); ?> The second piece of code should print out your class and the methods should be available. -Andrei The church is near but the road is icy; the bar is far away but I will walk carefully. -- Russian proverb
