When PHP for instance opens a file or a database connection, it creates a resource number value that is used by PHP internally to determine what is the resource that was created.

PHP resources are just numbers, but PHP does not provide a means to save those resource numbers and be able to recreate the original resource and reload it later.

This package provides a solution that overcomes that PHP limitation. It can work with regular PHP functions like serialize, unserialize and var_export.

Read this article to learn more details about how this notable PHP package works.
