Passing Objects In Sessions

[cascadingstylez]

Is this considered o.k to do?

I have a user object, created when a user has been verified and logs in. I need access to the functions to get data on the user from the database.

For example, I have an edit details page, which needs to load all the information into inputs.

Also instead of creating lots of session indexes I could also just use $_SESSION['user']->getUserID(); and stuff.

Any info on this appreciated.

Yes you can do that...
Easy no? $_SESSION['user'] = new User();

The $_SESSION array can contain objects. Note that the object must be defined prior to session_start() so that the object can be properly reconstructed. You might also want to look at the __sleep() and __wakeup() special functions.
