The serialization code of PHPLIB didn't run either because it heavily uses "eval". I have a rewrite here in store that copes with the new features of eval. So things should work once PHP4 does. But of course we hope that the internal serialization code of php someday will be smart enough to not only serialize but to unserialize objects as well. For now the built in serialize only segfaults when trying to serialize an object. It seems that serialize has to be rewritten anyway to allow serialization of reference variables as well, including a mechnism to avoid looping references. Boris -- PHP 4 Beta
