I tried your example Andrei and the methods are not available, however the properties are and retain the value of $a->b <? // Page 1 # save session include "foo.class.php"; session_start(); session_register("a"); $a = new foo; $a->b = 10; ?><a href=page2.php>Page 2</a> <? // Page 2 # restore session include "foo.class.php"; session_start(); var_dump($a); ?><br><a href=page1.php>Page 1</a> <? $a->p(); ?> // This prints Call to undefined function: p() in.... <? // foo.class.php class foo { var $a; var $b; var $c; function foo() { echo "foo()<BR>\n";flush(); $this->a = 1; $this->b = "a"; $this->c = array("hallo"); } function p() { echo $this->a." ".strlen($this->b)." ".count($this->c)."<BR>\n"; $this->a++; $this->b.="a"; $this->c[]="hallo"; } } ?> : 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 :
