#26737 [Opn-Fbk]: unexpected __sleep() serialization behavior
ID: 26737 Updated by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reported By: rob at cue dot cc -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Operating System: * PHP Version: 5CVS Previous Comments: [2003-12-30 20:11:12] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5-win32-latest.zip [2003-12-29 00:20:44] rob at cue dot cc Description: I have an object instance ($obj_root) that I want to persist in a session. The object's class (object_container) defines the __sleep() function, and returns the array of member variables to be serialized. function __sleep() { return array(objs); } The member variable 'objs' ($this-objs = array('foo');) is not serialized as expected; Arrays or other object-types result in null strings. Upon comparing the serialized instance strings, I have discovered that the string-ified names of the member variables are very different: serialize() without __sleep() wraps null chars around the instance class name, followed by the member variable name. obj_root|O:16:object_container:1:{s: 22:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@objs;a:1:{s:3:foo serialize() with __sleep() uses the plain member variable name, and dismisses it as null. If I use the __sleep() function and supply the member variable name with null chars quoting the class name the serialization works. function __sleep() { return array(\0object_container\0objs); } Could this be a bug, or should the documentation be updated to reflect this curious behaviour of __sleep(). -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26737edit=1
