I know you did. And I said __sleep() is called after the constructor.
It can also be called after __wakeup(), i.e. if an unserialized object
is serialized again.

OK, now - one of the members of the object is a reference to a database
connection object. How are you going to set that in your __wakeup() call?

Yes, I know what the PHP manual says. But it's also pretty obvious that
those who wrote the manual are the same ones who created the language.

Thanks, I'll go with recognized OO experts when discussing how OO works
- not the PHP folks.

My statement stands for a database object with the unserialize() method.

If either followed the OO rules for constructing an object, this would
not be a problem.
