I am not even near to being a voice for OOP in php but something ran 
through my mind when i read this.

I use serialize to save form data from time to time into a DB. Easier 
then having to have a separate column for each field (with obvious query 
drawbacks - but I digress)

What would be the reason to serialize an object other then to save it 
for later use, and at the time I can't really come up with a reason for 
that in my mind (lack of experience in this area I suppose)

Now if you are saving it for later use then the original object would no 
longer exist and the external resources as Jerry explained would no 
longer be available if not for the constructor.

I am not sure if I am even making sense, this just kind of went across 
my mind as i was reading.
