Hi Jim-
Thanks for responding...

Actually, I can store non MapScript objects in the $_SESSION just fine,
but when I attempt to either:
1) add the MapScript object as a private member of my class
2) simply save the MapScript object to the $_SESSION and then reuse, I
get the error.

Have you managed to store MapScript objects in sessions?
