Surely sessions can include objects. Please provide short script that reproduces behaviour that you do not like.

Also can you please check the latest snapshot from snaps.php.net to see if it works for you now?

Sample code as follows:
______________________________________________
// The Class
class Count
{
 var $counter;

 function add()
 {
  return $this->count++;
 }
}// End class
______________________________________________


// The session
// start up the sessions - use SESSION Array
session_start();
session_register("SESSION");

/* initialise the Count objct if necessary */
if (!isset($SESSION["Count"])) {
	$SESSION["Count"] = new Count;
}

The problem is when trying to manipulate $SESSION["Count"]->add() - which does the required calculations, but does store the session for later use (the /tmp/sess_***** file).

Andi - I checked the latest version you recommended - but I cannot evaluate it since the support for mySQL does not seem to work properly.

Works for me in latest version. Please try it.

You may want also to check your register_globals setting...

recompiled using the 4.0.3pl1 and the register_globals in on. There is still a problem with objects in the $SESSION array.

If you need to take a look at the application - I may be able to allow access to HTTP on my linux box.

Can you create a small reproducing script? That would help out a lot.

The entire script I used is long - here is a summary:

<?
class Counter
{
	var $counter;
	
	function add()
	{
		return $this->counter++;
	}
}

session_start();
session_register("SESSION");

/* initialise the SESSION variable if necessary */
if (!isset($SESSION)) {
	$SESSION = array();
}

/* initialise the Counter objct if necessary */
if (!isset($SESSION["Counter"])) {
	$SESSION["Counter"] = new Counter;
}

echo "Visits using normal variables: " . $SESSION["visit"]++;
echo "<BR>";
echo "Visits using classes: " .  $SESSION["counter"]->add;
?>

Should be fixed in CVS. Please try latest snapshot from
http://snaps.php.net/ and reopen this bug report if
this doesn't work with it.

ori, if you check it again, don't use your script supplied
in this bug report, there are errors in it...
1) $SESSION["Counter"]->add();

works for me too

I checked the latest release from snaps.php.net (php4-200011280245) and it seems to fix the bug problem with the sessions. I then checked again with 4.0.3pl1 and it did not work properly - seems like you fixed the bug...
