Comment (by dd32):

 Did some googling:
 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2970957/how-to-serialize-unserialize-a
 -simplexml-object
 {{{
 $s = new SimpleXmlElement('<foo>bar</foo>');
 $ss = serialize($s);
 $su = unserialize($ss);
 }}}
 Results in:  Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message
 'Serialization of 'SimpleXMLElement' is not allowed'

 End result? You can't store a SimpleXML object serialized.
