[…] Use a special container class that all other classes inherit from. This method is suitable mostly when attempting to unserialize objects (when unserializing objects, PHP must have the class definition to recover the object). This special container will automatically know the class file for the contained object. Then, the only class file that needs to be located is the container’s class file. (Autoloading in the context of object un/serialization is a special case of class loading.) […]

[…] A reliable way to serialize/unserialize objects in PHP - ещё один материал, более основательный, для РНР разработчиков, который расскажет о таком, казалось бы тривиальном процессе, как сериализация и десериализация объектов. На самом деле это совсем не так просто и чревато разными подводными камнями, особенно для начинающих программистов, так что очень рекомендуется для изучения. […]

At some point I thought you would go the “java way” and put the code of the class into serialized stream

Solution is an interesting one. Though, I doubt I will have a use-case for that. My projects usually have “ezc-style” autoload maps (and I patch external libs which I use to do the same)

Unfortunately, this is often not the case when dealing with misc. external libraries which have different file system layout, naming conventions or simply don’t use __autoload at all.

sorccu, I believe this should be a concern of the code using SerializableContainer. SerializableContainer is a pretty generic solution and it simply can’t predict all possible misuses. The same security concerns are valid for serialize/unserialize calls too. Anyway thanks for raising this issue.
