They are opposites with respect to the process of serialization and may
be thought of as "to-do-before" and "to-do-after". And __sleep() is not
the exact opposite of __wakeup() -- the object is still awake after
__sleep() has been called and will continue to "work". You can have a
class defining both methods and still have only one of the two methods
called during the life time of the instance:

$foo = new Foo;
echo serialize( $foo );
// end of script
// __sleep() is called, but never __wakeup()

$string = '<manually created serialized representation of object>';
$foo = unserialize( $string );
// end of script
// __wakeup() is called, but never __sleep()

I said the exact opposite: __sleep() is called *before* the
corresponding __wakeup().

And look what the PHP manual has to say (emphasis mine):

<http://de2.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.magic.php#object.wakeup>:
"Conversely, unserialize() checks for the presence of a function with
the magic name __wakeup(). If present, this function can *reconstruct*
any resources that the object may have."

(So __wakeup() is meant to "reconstruct" something, thus clearly acting
as a constructor.)

<http://de2.php.net/manual/en/class.serializable.php>
"Classes that implement this interface no longer support __sleep() and
__wakeup(). The method serialize is called whenever an instance needs to
be serialized. This does not invoke __destruct() or has any other side
effect unless programmed inside the method. When the data is
unserialized the class is known and the appropriate unserialize() method
is called as a *constructor* instead of calling __construct()."

(Clearly, unserialize() replaces __wakeup(), and if unserialize() acts
as a constructor, then so does __wakeup() which it replaces.)

Greetings,
Thomas
