Storing an object as a session

[micmola]

I have created an object and assigned values as follows:

 

$car_object =& new Car();

$car_object->offer = 'Sale'; 
$car_object->type = 'Sport Car'; 
$car_object->location = "Buffalo, New york";

 

 

How can I store the $car_object inside a session variable?

How can I get the $car_object out from the session variable?

 

Please help a novice. Urgent.

How can I store the $car_object inside a session variable?

$_SESSION['car'] = $car_object;

 

How can I get the $car_object out from the session variable?

$my_old_car_object = $_SESSION['car'];
$my_old_car_object->offer;
//Sale

Like what was said above, however you must remember to call session_start() on all pages that will be using sessions.

Also, unless you're using PHP 4, you shouldn't use the object's reference ('&') during assignment.  In PHP 5, objects are automatically passed by reference.
