ID: 62189 Comment by: mg at ovos dot at Reported by: mg at ovos dot at Summary: Behavior of serialize has changed Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: Variables related Operating System: Win64 PHP Version: 5.4.3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Hello! I managed to produce a simple testCase, please find it here: http://pastebin.com/sw1ZwvNv Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-05-30 12:14:29] mg at ovos dot at Hello, I am working on a test script. Please allow me to include it in few hours. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-05-30 12:08:16] cataphr...@php.net Can you create a short script that reproduces this behavior? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-05-30 10:10:50] mg at ovos dot at Description: ------------ There is a difference in output of the same object serialized in PHP 5.4 and lower than 5.4. Although I could not create a simple testCase, it seems to be related to referencing the same object more than once. I include an online DIFF of serialize() output from PHP 5.3.8 (left column) and PHP 5.4.3 (right column): http://diffchecker.com/T40k97j7 The object is 100% the same, I am just switching between PHP versions. As you can see the references to "Placeholder" object with name "Left column (Homepage)" are present multiple times in output from 5.3.8, where in output from PHP 5.4 it is present just once. All the additional occurences are marked as reference (e.g. "r: 204"), but the objects are not re-created after running unserialize(). Instead of valid objects, empty arrays are created - this is where the change breaks down our application. I would appreciate any hints on why the output might be different. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62189&edit=1
