#47244 [Opn->Bgs]: serialize() of a string with a line break (\r) broken.

ID: 47244 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: nir at winpdb dot org -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Ubuntu Intrepid PHP Version: 5.2.8 New Comment: It works fine in CVS, its possible that the \r char when output is causing formatting error that hides other chars.

Can this possibly have security consequences as well? if a \r on a web form breaks the internal data structures of a system? Am I missing anything? PS: I am actually using PHP 5.2.6 on Ubuntu Intrepid.
