i asked this about a month ago and didn't hear anything. i too have never
been able to get __sleep to work. i think it's because i couldn't figure out
what needed to be returned (or how to return it :)
at http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.magic-functions.php it says
that __sleep is "supposed to return an array with the names of all variables
of that object that should be serialized", but there are no examples of
this.
in a current project, i have an object that is registed as a session
variable. it contains three objects and an array. one of the objects is a
PEAR db object, and i don't need to serialize it. i do want to maintain the
other two objects and the array.
i tried a number of ideas inside __sleep, to no avail. without __sleep, it
works. with __sleep, i break it.
i do use __wakeup to reinitialize my db object, but i just use
$db->disconnect(); at the end of my index file to disconnect .
does anyone know the proper way to "clean up the object" in __sleep and how
to return the variables that should be serialized? can this even be used
when one (or more) of the variables is an object itself?
thanks,
mike
