Use serialize() and deserialize(). They don't work resources, like file descriptors or similar types. Storing such things in a database isn't a great idea thou.

<?php

class Test
{
  function __construct($a, $b)
  {
        $this->a = $a;
        $this->b = $b;

  }

  private $a;
  private $b;
}

$t = new Test(1, 2);

print_r($t);
print_r(unserialize(serialize($t)));

?>

Outputs:

Test Object
(
    [a:private] => 1
    [b:private] => 2
)
Test Object
(
    [a:private] => 1
    [b:private] => 2
)
