object persistence in php

Question

I am fairly new to web programming, I have mainly used java to create desktop applications in the past.

I\'m trying to figure out how to create persistent objects in

Answer 1

It is possible to store objects in the current session. Now just create a base class which is able to store and recreate the object itself. Any derived object will then also be persistent.

As far as i know the session is stored in RAM and thus should be faster than serialize the objects to disk to achieve persistence.
