Well, you'll have to serialize the contents of the variables anyway as they're not one coherent piece of memory. All of the serializers do this. You just need a compatible deserializer on the other side. > It would be great if a PHP arrays structure could be taken from > memory, written to a file or stream, and opened in Python as a > Dictionary without any database or serialization inbetween. The DBus extension in PECL (http://pecl.php.net/package/DBus) implements a serializer and deserializer for most data types as supported by DBUS, and there is also a python module available to do the same. with kind regards, Derick -- http://derickrethans.nl | http://xdebug.org Like Xdebug?
