Hmm, seriailze and deserialize.. Don't think that's what I would want to do.
You probably mean that I can serialize an object, hack the string to change
the Class reference. That's not really what I want to do. Right now I'm
hacking through it by
*) Creating a new instance of the desired class ($New = new
OtherClass())
*) Copy all attributes (foreach($this as $Key=>$Value) $New[$Key] =
$Value)
*) Replace the "$this" var ($this = $New)
Not the best solution, I now .. But it works, currently. Please, there must
be another way to do this !
