#47565 [NEW]: Extend serialize and unserialize with encryption key.

From: martin at itmission dot com Operating system: PHP version: 5.3.0beta1 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Extend serialize and unserialize with encryption key. Description: ------------ Request: Add simple encryption support to serialize and unserialize. Rationale: It is useful to be able to serialize an object and hide it in a form variable on a web page. This is vulnerable to tampering by the end user. serialize(mixed $value[, string $key]) unserialize(string $str[, string $key]) This new definition won't break existing code and could be implemented using a TEA variant in a few lines. It would be nice if objects didn't have to be persisted in $_SESSION, because some power users want to use multiple windows to work with different objects simultaneously (editing two "invoice" objects at the same time, but commiting only complete changes of each). -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47565&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47565&r=mysqlcfg
