Bug #62200 [NEW]: __set_state() not implemented

From: bkam at citiesunlimited dot com Operating system: All PHP version: 5.4.3 Package: SPL related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:__set_state() not implemented Description: ------------ Pretty simple, var_export of SPL traversibles shows Class::__set_state([]) but actually calling that function throws an undefined method error. This is specifically true for ArrayObject, but generally true for all the traversibles with inaccessible internal structures. Test script: --------------- //first $a = new ArrayObject(); $a['key'] = 'value'; var_export($a); // returns //"ArrayObject::__set_state(array( 'key' => 'value', ))" $ao = ArrayObject::__set_state(['thing' => 'value']); //returns //"Fatal error: Call to undefined method ArrayObject::__set_state()" Expected result: ---------------- "ArrayObject::__set_state(array( 'key' => 'value', ))" "" Actual result: -------------- "Fatal error: Call to undefined method ArrayObject::__set_state()" -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62200&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=needdocs Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=62200&r=mysqlcfg
