Well, for one thing, $line.serialize() isn't valid PHP syntax for a method
call, because of the dot. That it executes on your friend's system probably
has to do with his error_reporting and display_errors settings. Ask him if
queries ever get cached and the answer probably will be negative.

When the $rs2 object contains the serialize method, you probably should do
something like:

return $rs2->serialize();

When, however, you goal is to apply the native PHP serialize function, the
call probably should be:

return serialize($rs2);
