objects serialize()

[Anon]

Hi,
I want to serialize an object which contains 2 arrays of another objects. The number of elements in each of array is quite more important and When i want to serialize object with
"... $s = serialize($object);
fputs($file,$s);"
The server can't and a message like "erralloc cannot allocate 6222455 bytes". The memmory that requires this serialization for this object is too important. Is there an other way to "serialize" this object which requires less memory than the function serialize()??
Thanks

Translate that to erralloc refuses to grab 6.2 megs just so you can be a lazy ass 🙂

Why not serialize the different objects in your arrays in a more economic fashion such as by splitting them into smaller componants?

I know that will be a pain, but 6.2megs is a big chunk of data to be serializing.
