And the behavior before serialization is the behavior of a normal object-oriented language. (I ported the example to Java just to make sure I wasn't crazy.) I'm not trying to split hairs. I tried creating the kind of sophiticated object-oriented structure that PHP 5 makes so much easier. It worked wonderfully. But then I discovered that the structure didn't persist across sessions. So I made this simplified example to demonstrate the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-10-24 08:08:59] reiersol at online dot no Description: ------------ Object references inside PHP5 objects are not preserved through serialize/unserialize like traditional PHP4 references. This means they cannot be used in session-based applications. Reproduce code: --------------- class Bar {} class Foo { var $v1; var $v2; function Foo() { $this->v1 = new Bar; $this->v2 = $this->v1; } } $f = new Foo; var_dump($f); $g = unserialize(serialize($f)); var_dump($g); print $s1; Expected result: ---------------- This is what I get if I use $this->v2 = &this->$v1 instead of $this->v2 = $this->v1: object(foo)#1 (2) { ["v1"]=> &object(bar)#2 (0) { } ["v2"]=> &object(bar)#2 (0) { } } object(foo)#3 (2) { ["v1"]=> &object(bar)#4 (0) { } ["v2"]=> &object(bar)#4 (0) { } } Actual result: -------------- object(foo)#1 (2) { ["v1"]=> object(bar)#2 (0) { } ["v2"]=> object(bar)#2 (0) { } } object(foo)#3 (2) { ["v1"]=> object(bar)#4 (0) { } ["v2"]=> object(bar)#5 (0) { } } ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=25975&edit=1
