Re: [PHPLIB] Is it possible to send an object variable as a POST argument From: Eric Ries (eric.ries <email protected>)

Well, sure you could call rawurlencode() on the result of calling
serialize() on an object. However, this doesn't seem like the best way. It
all depends on your exact needs. You could also

use $sess->register() to save the object as part of the session state so
that when the new page loads it will be available

or create a separate object (maybe a simple array) which holds only the
data that needs to get moved from page to page. Then serialize or register
this object, and pass it to the constructor of your larger object. The
reason you might want to do this is that often most of the data associated
with an object is the same from instance to instance, and if you use the
standard PHP serialize() function, you'll wind up passing more data than
you need around.

Unless, of course, you use the PHPLIB serialize() and set perisistent_slots
to only a few values.

OK, that wound up being a much more convoluted message than I had hoped.
Hope it was still clear...
