Getting Objects out of the $SESSION variable unscathed in PHP

+2 votes
332 views

I'm having a problem getting my objects out of the $SESSION variable. I am storing an ordinal array of associate arrays where one of the associate array elements is an object. Unfortunately, when I pull it back out, the object is "broken" with "__PHP_Incomplete_Class" errors.

From what I can read this has something to do with 'serialization' - i.e., the emerging object must be unserialized (http://php.net/manual/en/function.unserialize.php ). However, I can't get it to work.

Any tips on how that is done, or what I should do instead?

This program is being developed on a testing server that can then be put on a production server.

Here are my server specs:
Apache Version : 2.2.17
PHP Version : 5.3.3
MySQL Version : 5.5.8

For those objects to be unserialised the class must already have been included, otherwise PHP can't reconstruct it correctly. The error indicates that the class does not exist.

Sessions working/not working in PHP

I have the following (below) session code at the top of each page.. The 'print_r' (development feature only) confirms that on one particular page I do log out as the session var = (). but, on testing that page via the URL I still get to see the page and all its contents - session var() -.. the page has the following session_start, DOCTYPE Info then containing meta info 

error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
$userid = $_SESSION['userid'];
$username = $_SESSION['username'];
print_r($_SESSION);

Session Vars not staying active in PHP

I am having trouble with session vars. I'm trying to implement the credit card direct pay method outlined here...

http://developer.authorize.net/api/dpm/

Basically, page 1 is my form that goes outside my site to the cc gateway company then comes back with a result... (PG2)

Problem: if I try to create session vars on page 1 - they don't work on page 2.

Am I correct in thinking that when this process leaves my site and goes to the gateway, then returns, it is similar to creating a new session and that is why the session vars don't remain active?
