OK, I have been on a project where it I have been doing mostly front-end php while sending and recieving data in arrays with an API...

Now the API people are saying "We will pass the templates as serialized PHP objects..."

I am really scratching my head here. It sounds like he wants to send the entire php file that makes a web page as a serialized object... Before all I had to do was format an array. I am trying to arrange a confrence call to s I can understand this. (I am an not a PHP expert and I think they are talking above my head.)

In the meantime, what can you tell me about the function serialize()? The example in the manual seems very incomplete and I need to pick this up quick.
