Please consider the following example code:

<?php

class a {
    function b() {}
}

$r=new ReflectionMethod(new a, "b");
var_dump($r->getParameters());
$s=serialize($r);
$r=unserialize($s);
var_dump($r->getParameters());

?>

That produces the following output:

array(0) { }
Fatal error: ReflectionFunctionAbstract::getParameters() [<a href='reflectionfunctionabstract.getparameters'>reflectionfunctionabstract.getparameters</a>]: Internal error: Failed to retrieve the reflection object in [...]test.php on line 13

The question stands, is there a way to correctly serialize/unserialize Reflection objects in PHP?

Thank you.
