ID: 45299 Updated by: jani@php.net Reported By: taco at procurios dot nl -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: Class/Object related Operating System: linux PHP Version: 5.2.6 New Comment: Please tell us WHY do you want to serialize special super global arrays like $GLOBALS in the first place?! That's propably the dummiest idea ever.. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-06-18 12:03:24] taco at procurios dot nl Description: ------------ When serializing and later on deserializing the $GLOBALS array, global objects aren't recreated. Reproduce code: --------------- class Foo { public $foo; public function __construct($foo) { $this->foo = $foo; } } $Foo = new Foo(34); var_dump($GLOBALS['Foo']); $s = serialize($GLOBALS); $GLOBALS = unserialize($s); var_dump($GLOBALS['Foo']); Expected result: ---------------- object(Foo)#1 (1) { ["foo"]=> int(34) } object(Foo)#1 (1) { ["foo"]=> int(34) } Actual result: -------------- object(Foo)#1 (1) { ["foo"]=> int(34) } int(1) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45299&edit=1
