class serialize/unserialize implementation.

hi - the problem i see is that you *NEED* to have the class your unserializing defined *BEFORE* you can unserialize i't instance - even though it seems logical i don't know if people will get bitten by this! the benefit is that you get a fully working instance fron unserialize instead of the "dumb" array you got in PHP3 also 'cause i had to put the class-name into the serialized data. it probably won't "unserialize" when using php3. (people that store serialized data in a file/db may get bitten by this!). the next time we come up with a new format (i hope never!) we need to make sure that we have a version number and a magic-cookie - so that we can mark incompatible changes! comments? tc Thies C.
