Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-04 14:09:11] mg at ovos dot at Please have a look at the following scenario: http://pastebin.com/QRWtX0dM Of course such double serialization makes no sense, but I found it to be present in Doctrine 1.2 library. Therefore I am wondering if the references should still work in this case like it was in PHP 5.3. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-05-30 17:22:12] mg at ovos dot at It seems that my issue is directly related to fixing a bug in PHP: https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=36424 If this is true, the test case I included does not cover entirely the issue I am having. In my case unserialize() does not bring back the referenced object, although the test case does. I had no luck in extracting my scenario into a test case as yet. I am trying to find the difference between test case and the live case, which is obviosly many times more complex. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-05-30 13:26:14] mg at ovos dot at I'm attaching a DIFF with output of the testCase: http://diffchecker.com/5399UzhN Left side: PHP 5.3.8 Right side: PHP 5.4.3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-05-30 13:20:48] mg at ovos dot at Hello!
