Hello,

Can you serialize the object and stick it in the $_SESSION?

Thanks to those who replied earlier. I've moved on a little, and now am wondering how to make an object 'persist' between activations of an action script, associated with a button on the form.

The model I have (the common thread of most replies) is something like this (not in php, but in reasonably self-evident pseudo code):

(firsttime) is determined by a test of the $_POST variables, or in some similar way

if (firsttime) then
    showform and wait for action script {this script} to re-activate
else
    edit form data and build error stack
    showform along with error stack and wait for next action
end

I can get this to work fine if I'm not using an object, but if I create an object on the (firsttime) path, it disappears between then and the next activation.

The object includes not only the functions to build the form display, but also the editing and error-stack management functions (no multiple inheritance :-().

Is it as simple as stashing away the object in a hidden field? or maybe in some $_SESSION variable?

Thanks for any help!

Tony
