Can't reproduce:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/src/PHP_5_0 $ php -r 'function __autoload($name) {
var_dump($name); } $x = NULL; var_dump($x instanceof test);'
make: `sapi/cli/php' is up to date.
string(4) "test"

Fatal error: Class 'test' not found in Command line code on line 1
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/src/PHP_5_0 $ php -r 'function __autoload($name) {
var_dump($name); eval("class $name {}");} $x = NULL; var_dump($x
instanceof test);'
make: `sapi/cli/php' is up to date.
string(4) "test"
bool(false)

So the problem lies in unserialize() -> other bug

Description:
------------
[pasted from messages on internals@ list]

I like the new $obj instanceof ClassName way of checking class /
interface types, .... but this method does have one major drawback
compared to the old is_a() approach:

  The class must be loaded in order to perform an instanceof check!

There are many situations where you do not want to have to load every
class to see whether a returned object is a class of that type.  In
particular for driver classes, the current model requires loading
*every* possible driver in order to check to see which type of class
was returned.

is_a() works great, but has been deprecated and is now generating
E_STRICT errors.


Reproduce code:
---------------
[conributed by Sean Coates on internals@ list]

<?php

class Foo {}

$foo = unserialize('O:3:"Foo":0:{}');

echo '$foo is_a Foo? '. (is_a($foo, 'Foo') ? 'yes' : 'no') ."\n";
echo '$foo instanceof Foo? '. ($foo instanceof Foo ? 'yes' : 'no')
."\n";

?>

---- and ----

<?php

//class Foo {}

$foo = unserialize('O:3:"Foo":0:{}');

echo '$foo is_a Foo? '. (is_a($foo, 'Foo') ? 'yes' : 'no') ."\n";
echo '$foo instanceof Foo? '. ($foo instanceof Foo ? 'yes' : 'no')
."\n";

?>

Expected result:
----------------
$foo is_a Foo? yes
$foo instanceof Foo? yes

---- and ----

$foo is_a Foo? no
$foo instanceof Foo? no



Actual result:
--------------
$foo is_a Foo? yes
$foo instanceof Foo? yes

---- and ----

$foo is_a Foo? no

Fatal error: Class 'Foo' not found in 
/home/sean/phpdoc/scripts/tmp/is_a.php on line 8
