Hi,
I guess the word "meaningless" depends on what you are trying to do.
So, I guess I have to describe what I'm trying to do. The problem is, I need
to pass a php object to javascript via json and then back to php again
using json. However, while doing that, I lose the type of the object
(because json_encode method or json_decode works independent from the
object's class). Thus, I somehow need to typecast. I thought I might hold
class name as a property of the object so it would be passed inside json,
but type casting would work if and only if I have class file of the object
included.
In case I add a "getClassPath()" like variable to each php class, it would
be a great mess. Moreover, what I'm trying to do is developing a framework.
Thus, I don't want to force my users to alter their classes and their
behaviours.
This was my solution to keep the type persistent.
However, I would also thankfully appreciate if you have an idea to do that
in a better way.
thanks,
Ali.
