Getting an error "__PHP_Incomplete_Class_Name"

Question

I am assigning the object for class "PurchOrder" to session variable

$_SESSION['obj'] = new PurchOrder;

But it returns the error "__PHP_Incomplete_Class_Name" when i access the function which is inside the class "PurchOrder"

I didnt handle this type of error before.

This happens if the PurchOrder class is not available when you are using the object stored in the session (or in any other case where a class instance is serialized and unserialized).

You need to ensure that whatever file defines that class is included whenever you want to use an instance of it.

First time it works fine . When I access the object once again then it shows that error. – user2462414 Aug 22 '13 at 13:53
Then the class is not available when you access it the second time. – ThiefMaster Aug 22 '13 at 13:53
yes, but i cannot create obj once again because it will remove the existing value for that class – user2462414 Aug 22 '13 at 14:13
You are not supposed to create the object again, you just have to make sure the *class* is available, i.e. whatever files contains the `class PurchOrder { ... }` code needs to be included. – ThiefMaster Aug 22 '13 at 14:14
