session and classes???

[JimTools]

is it a good idea to put a class object into a session cookie?

$_SESSION['ClassOne'] = new ClassOne();

You can do that, but you need to include the file that defines the class before calling session_start()

Thanks just check it's safe to do just, because I'm having trouble including all the classes making them work with each other.

[Siemens]

I would suggest there is an issue with how you've written or are including your classes then.

[JimTools]

At the moment I'm using this function to load the classes in, its a working progress.

public function __construct(){
		if(is_dir(LIBROOT)) {
			$dh = opendir(LIBROOT);
			while($file = readdir($dh)) {
				$frag = explode(".", $file);
				if($frag[1] == "database" && $frag[0] == DB_CON_TYPE && DB_CON_TYPE == "pdo") {
					include $file;
					$_SESSION['database'] = new database(DB_SOURCE,DB_HOST_IP,DB_USER,DB_PASS);
					
				}
				
				if($frag[1] == "class" && $frag[0] != "core") {
					include $file;
					$_SESSION[$frag[0]] = new $frag[0]();
				}
			}
		} else {
			echo "<b>ERRORL:<b> libary directory can not be found.";
			closedir($dh);
		}
	}

That's some fairly messy code.
Also, don't store the db connection in the session.

[Siemens]

Yeah, a DB connection probably won't work in a session since it can't really be serialized and deserialized without breaking the connection.

Thank but your advice can to late, had to look in a text book to find that out. XD
