classes -> mySQL

[Anon]

Hi, I'm relatively new to PHP, but I've had quite a bit of experience with OOP in C++, and I was looking forward to creating classes with PHP. However, I was wondering if there was any way to store a class object into mySQL. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Yep! You can use the serialize() function to convert your data structures into string representations which you then can store in MySQL. See:

Disclaimer: I personally have never actually serialized a class before.
