move object from 1 page to another?

Question

Hay guys. I'm kinda new to OOP in PHP. I've learnt how to write and create objects. Is there a way to take an object and pass it to another script? either using GET or POST or SESSION or whatever. If there isn't how would i assign an object some variables on one page, then assign the same object more variables on another page?

Thanks

You can store objects in the session but you need to include the file which contains the class definition before calling session_start() (or use class autoloading and set this up before you start the session). For example:

On every page:

//include class definition
require('class.php');

//start session
session_start();

1st page:

$object = new class();
$object->someProperty = 'hello';

//store in session
$_SESSION['object'] = $object;

Subsequent pages:

$object = $_SESSION['object'];

//add something else, which will be stored in the session
$object->anotherPropery = 'Something';
