From: Operating system: Debian Etch PHP version: 5.2.13 Package: Output Control Bug Type: Bug Bug description:var_export() second argument ignored on recursion fatal error
Description: ------------ When calling var_export() on a recursive array, with the 'return' parameter set to true, a partial var_exported string is echoed and then a fatal error is raised. A more correct handling should be to just raise the php fatal error, not output the partial string. (sensitive data might be accidentally shown, for example) Test script: --------------- $recursive = array(); $recursive[] = &$recursive; $test = var_export($recursive, true); Expected result: ---------------- Fatal error: Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? in test.php on line x Actual result: -------------- array ( 0 => array ( 0 => array ( 0 => array ( 0 => array ( Fatal error: Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? in test.php on line x -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51362&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51362&r=mysqlcfg
