When active, modal elements - dialogs, pickers, or AJAX spinners - need to prevent user interaction with the rest of the page.

Recently, I developed a couple of helper functions for transmitting PHP objects over the wire, and saving them in database records:
dehydrate() - recursively converts an instance of a PHP class to a plain untyped object.

Use if after decoding a JSON received from the browser, or after loading a database record.This article describes how to use these functions.
