Yes, I think so. You just need to be sure the require for the class definition happens *BEFORE* the objects are instantiated, as I understand it. /* Right Way */ require 'class_definitions_needed_for_objects_in_session_vars.class'; session_start(); At least, that's my interpretation of the posts I've seen from people who actually use PHP OOP and cram objects into sessions. [shudder] Resources (e.g., MySQL connections) are released at the end of a script, and will not be resurrectable, at least not in PHP 4 & 5 as I understand it. > -----Original Message----- > From: Richard Lynch [mailto:ceo@xxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 1:16 PM > To: Meghdad Azriel > Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: OO website/program doubt > > > On Wed, November 1, 2006 2:50 pm, Meghdad Azriel wrote: >> The objects in an OO website/program is always alive in the session, >> or they >> die at the end of the execution of each page? > > They die and are resurrected like zombies on the next page. > > The Resurrection is slightly more complicated than that described in > the Bible, however, requiring some serious gnarly timing issues in > your loading of the class definitions before you attempt to use the > objects... > > Probably best to load all your class definitions before you do > session_start() from that perspective, though I don't know as I never > use OOP much in PHP. > > You *could* write a daemon in PHP to have long-lived objects, however, > if you want to keep them around for a long shelf life. > > -- > Some people have a "gift" link here. > Know what I want? > I want you to buy a CD from some starving artist. > http://cdbaby.com/browse/from/lynch > Yeah, I get a buck.
