#48840 [NEW]: serialized object: data loss in some use case

From: schindler dot andor at pokhalo dot hu Operating system: any PHP version: 5.2.10 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: serialized object: data loss in some use case Description: ------------ If i serialize a PHP object, then become some \0 characters in property's field name. This cause some problems, where others using char* instead of smart_str. Example: If i try escape a serialized object's string with pg_escape_string() then i give a truncated string, because the PQescapeStringConn()/PQescapeString() terminate the processing at the \0 character. Reproduce code: --------------- class aClass { private $a; public function __construct() { $this->a = 1; } } $obj = new aClass(); $str = serialize($obj); // gives: 'O:6:"aClass":1:{s:9:"#aClass#a";i:1;}' // (i marked \0's places with a #) echo $str; $conn = pg_connect('...'); // gives: 'O:6:"aClass":1:{s:9:"' echo pg_escape_string($conn, $str); Expected result: ---------------- I think it would be better, if the serialize don't give \0. I think, it's can not be problem, if serialize uses # or anything instead of \0. Actual result: -------------- See code. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48840&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=48840&r=mysqlcfg
