#43022 [NEW]: Globals are not set if object passed by reference

From: sonya at look-for-it dot de Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: 5.2.4 PHP Bug Type: SOAP related Bug description: Globals are not set if object passed by reference Description: ------------ I have problem with $GLOBALS while executing scripts via SOAP Service. Objects passed by reference is not set in $GLOBALS and cannot be used in other classes. The same code works perfectly if executed direct in browser. Reproduce code: --------------- client.php ---------------------------------------------- ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0"); $client = new SoapClient("test.wsdl", array('trace'=> 1, 'exceptions' => 0)); print $client->testGlobals(); -------------------------------------------- server.php ---------------------------------------------- function testGlobals() { global $TestClass1, $TestClass2; require_once 'inc.php'; return $TestClass2->testvar2; } ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0"); $server = new SoapServer("test.wsdl"); $server->addFunction("testGlobals"); $server->handle(); -------------------------------------------- inc.php -------------------------------------------- require_once('TestClass1.class.php'); require_once('TestClass2.class.php'); $TestClass2 = new TestClass2(); ------------------------------------------- TestClass1.class.php ------------------------------------------- class TestClass1 { public $testvar1; function TestClass1() { $this->testvar1 = 100; } } $TestClass1 = & new TestClass1(); --------------------------------------------- TestClass2.class.php --------------------------------------------- class TestClass2 { public $testvar2; function TestClass2() { global $TestClass1; $this->testvar2 = $TestClass1->testvar1; } } Expected result: ---------------- I expect the value 100 to be returned by service. Actual result: -------------- Nothing is returned. The reason is that in TestClass2 there is no $GLOBALS['TestClass1'] unless I pass $TestClass1 by value: (last line of TestClass1.class.php): $TestClass1 = new TestClass1(); What is wrong here? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43022&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43022&r=mysqlcfg
