Hello Rob,
I think it would be good to list these non-serializable objects in the RFC. > It doesn't have to be exhaustive, but the list includes throwables, > weak-maps, weak-references, closures, fibers, etc. Some people may be > relying on this behavior (and I'd be curious to know that use case myself). > Thank you for your note. As I went through to the code-base in order to compile the list for the RFC, it also occurred to me that all anonymous classes are marked as ZEND_ACC_NOT_SERIALIZABLE, but json_encode()-ing such classes is unproblematic and probably very much desired for user land classes. I have updated the RFC and attached implementation to allow anonymous classes to be json_encode()’d, provided their parent class is not marked as ZEND_ACC_NOT_SERIALIZABLE. Thank you very much Philip
