#50282 [NEW]: xmlrpc_encode_request() changes object into array in calling function

From: basicer at basicer dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.2.11 PHP Bug Type: XMLRPC-EPI related Bug description: xmlrpc_encode_request() changes object into array in calling function Description: ------------ Somehow calling xmlrpc_encode_request() will change an object into an array even if the object is passed by reference to the function. xmlrpc_encode_request() creates the correct XML in this case (a struct) but corrupts the original object. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php class One { var $x = 10; } function go($name, $args) { $x = xmlrpc_encode_request($name,$args); } $o = new One(); print "Start with an object...\n"; var_dump($o); print "Do some stuff...\n"; go('test',array($o)); print "Now we have an array ?!\n"; var_dump($o); Expected result: ---------------- Start with an object... object(One)#1 (1) { ["x"]=> int(10) } Do some stuff... Now we have an array ?! object(One)#1 (1) { ["x"]=> int(10) } Actual result: -------------- Start with an object... object(One)#1 (1) { ["x"]=> int(10) } Do some stuff... Now we have an array ?! array(1) { ["x"]=> int(10) } -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50282&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50282&r=mysqlcfg
