Re: [PHP4BETA] class serialize/unserialize implementation.

Hi, this doesn't suite for me :-) remember you use classes for more things than just instancing a class. what about *_fetch_object()? i'm not able to figure out the name of the class here. I think, the behaviour you sugested (when a class is not defined, generate a plain object without single function like in PHP3) is very good :-) Jakub 15.09.1999 v 13:23:47 (+0200), Thies C.
