PHP Class and inheritance, serialization

Question

Hi!

Serialized varibale does not seem to retain its state from classes that were extended.

I have a class, called directly from somewhere that accepts a serialized variable:

class Main extends Admin {
function __construct($serialized){
 parent::__construct($serialized);
}

.... (omitted)
}  

class Admin extends Page{
    var $pageargs;

function __construct($should_still_be_serialized_form){
 $this->pageargs = unserialize($should_still_be_serialized_form); }}

In admin class i get error: unserialize() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in (admin class file)...

Is this the way php handles inheritance? or something is wrong with my code?

Answer 1

Seems that $should_still_be_serialized_form is array instead of serialized string. Check out did you pass correct param - print_r($should_still_be_serialized_form).
