Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.oop5.serialization
---

The object serialization & sessions manual page gives the impression that the only way to automatically have an object be serialized and unserialized is through the use of the long since removed `session_register()`. It could use an update that explicitly states that objects in `$_SESSION` get serialized & unserialized automatically (with the latter being triggered by `session_start()`).

I don't think it actually makes sense to describe session
(un)serialization behavior on that page.  That should better be
done in the session documentation or on the $_SESSION page; a link
to that documentation could be added to the serialization docs.

Anyhow, the session_register() referrals need to be removed from
that page.
