#40604 [Bgs->Opn]: Objects disappear from the global scope

ID: 40604 User updated by: dagdamor at simps dot ru Reported By: dagdamor at simps dot ru -Status: Bogus +Status: Open Bug Type: Class/Object related Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 5.2.1 New Comment: I didn't understand your reply at all :( could you please provide a bit more explanatory response? I see that the object gets destroyed before the script ends its work (since it's inaccessible in the provided example), but I don't understand why it's expected behavior... I never destroyed that object manually, and created it expecting it to work till the very end of script.

Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php the object gets destroyed before you get output - well actually you don\'t produce output ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-23 08:49:07] dagdamor at simps dot ru Description: ------------ Objects seem to disappear from the global scope when you try to access them from the output buffer callback function. Regular variables (i.e. not objects) don't disappear and work alright. After some additional research I've noticed that if your PHP program has many objects in the global scope, some of them don't disappear, while others do. Looks very strange... I hope this is not documentation misinterpretation, because I used global variables, objects including in OB callbacks in PHP4, and it worked fine. In other words, I hope this is not "You can't use global variables there" case. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php function handler($content) { global $obj; return isset($obj)?"OK":"Error"; } class MyClass {} $obj=new MyClass(); ob_start("handler"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- OK Actual result: -------------- Error ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40604&edit=1
