I know the functions don't need to be copied. I would like to easily transport the objects (not the class) between pages using a form. I'm pretty sure the serialize() function can't be avoided (otherwise all that will be passed is a string with a value like "Object ID: #55") but how can I get around the base64_encode() so the serialized object can be the value of a checkbox? $obj = new MyClass(); $obj = serialize($obj); $obj = base64_encode($obj); //I would like to eliminate this line <input type=checkbox name='fieldName' value='$obj'> So on the next page I have to decode and deserialize $obj = $_POST['fieldName']; $obj = base64_decode($obj); $obj = unserialize($obj); echo $obj->member; $obj->function(); "Unknown Unknown" <phpinfolist@xxxxxxxxx> wrote in message news:793d90b50511251446x585d6960v61fc30d50b919856@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Well the functions won't need to be copied, but can't you put the properties into a MySQL or other database? Then on a page that you need the properties you pull them from the table?
