There is an even better way to do this; add an additional parameter to serialize and unserialize to serialize as and unserialize as: $bin = serialize($data_struct, 'igbinary'); $data_struct = unserialize($bin, 'igbinary'); This keeps a clean BC solution without adding more clutter to the ini file for runtime things, you could say that adding something like 'serialize_default_mode = php;', but changing its default would create clutter code where the optional second parameter would be forced, so lets leave the ini out of this. So what I propose here is: 1) An internal API to register serializes,and making PHP's current serialize implemented as such 2) Add a second parameter to both serialize and unserialize that can be used choose a serializer 3) Optionally add a function like: get_serialize_handlers() (so we won't have to parse phpinfo()) which are the available serializers 4) Consider bundling either igbinary, msgpack or implement a new custom and more efficient one that allows us to be future oriented 5) No php.ini changes 6) Allow users to register serialize handlers using register_serialize_handler()/unregister_serialize_handler() 7) Optionally consider implementing this in SPL Okay, late night, back to sleep! -- regards, Kalle Sommer Nielsen ka...@php.net -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
