Method MasterObject()->Decoder()->decode_object()

Method decode_object

array(mixed) decode_object(object o, mixed data)

Description

Restore the state of an encoded object.

Parameter o

Object to modify.

Parameter data

State information from Encoder()->encode_object().

The default implementation calls o->_decode(data) if the object has an _decode(), otherwise if data is an array, returns it to indicate that lfun::create() should be called.

Note

This function is called before lfun::create() in the object has been called, but after lfun::__INIT() has been called.

Returns

Returns an array to indicate to the caller that lfun::create() should be called with the elements of the array as arguments.

Returns 0 (zero) to inhibit calling of lfun::create().
