ID: 62189 Comment by: mg at ovos dot at Reported by: mg at ovos dot at Summary: Behavior of serialize has changed Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Variables related Operating System: Win64 PHP Version: 5.4.3 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: It seems that my issue is directly related to fixing a bug in PHP: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36424 If this is true, the test case I included does not cover entirely the issue I am having. In my case unserialize() does not bring back the referenced object, although the test case does. I had no luck in extracting my scenario into a test case as yet. I am trying to find the difference between test case and the live case, which is obviosly many times more complex.

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
