 New Comment:

This bug has been fixed in CVS.

Snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change
will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at
http://snaps.php.net/.
 
Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better.

Even though session_register has been removed in 6.0, I don't agree
with leaving a segfault. I've fixed this in 5.3 and I'll backport to 5.2
once I check with ilia.

session_register() is deprecated. DO NOT USE. Ever. RTFM about
$_SESSION.

Description:
------------
If I add create a global variable array which contains recursive
entries it causes PHP to crash when I register it by calling
session_register. This appears to be because the PS_ENCODE_LOOP macro
does not check for recursion.


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$array = array();

$array["foo"] = NULL;
$array["bar"] = NULL;
$array["guff"] = NULL;
$array["blah"] = &$array;

var_dump(session_start());
var_dump(session_register($array));
echo "Done!\n";
?>


Expected result:
----------------
Perhaps we should check for recusion rather like the JSON extension
does (see json_encode_array() in JSON.c)?

Actual result:
--------------
bool(true)
