Thank you for your interest in PHP. . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-08-02 08:27:35] carlosV2 dot 0 at gmail dot com Description: ------------ I think the unserialize method should have a final string length check. You can make objects disappear just running the code in the Test Script: This code outputs just the first object. This is something it can easily happend when you are working with sockets or data streams. Probably it is the developer's fault but actually to serialized objects together are not only one object. I think checking the string length at the end of the parser and rising a warning is enough to alert the developer that this things are happening. Test script: --------------- $o1 = new stdClass(); $o1->name = 'Object1'; $o2 = new stdClass(); $o2->name = 'Object2'; $objects = serialize($o1) . serialize($o2); print_r(unserialize($objects)); Expected result: ---------------- A warning Actual result: -------------- Only the first object: stdClass Object ( [name] => Object1 ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65376&edit=1
