Because it's a violation of OO concepts? It's caused me problems more
than once. I no longer even try to store objects in the session. It's
hopeless.

For instance - what if one of the things your object needs is a database
connection? And what if you have several objects using that same
connection? There is no way to pass an existing database connection to
__wakeup(). You either have to use a global variable, restricting
variable names in the rest of your code and limiting flexibility, or
create a new connection in the __wakeup() call or remember to call
another method to set the database connection after unserializing the
object.

None are good answers - but all could be easily handled with proper use
of constructors.
