Bug #51561 [Com]: SoapServer with a extented class and using sessions, lost the setPersistence()

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51561&edit=1 ID: 51561 Comment by: nielsdos@php.net Reported by: marciomaianunes at hotmail dot com Summary: SoapServer with a extented class and using sessions, lost the setPersistence() Status: Open Type: Bug Package: SOAP related Operating System: Linux 2.6.26 PHP Version: 5.2.11 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I found the root cause. When using persistent sessions, the soap server object is put into the session storage. On the next request, session_start() at the beginning will decode the session object, before the require_once has executed. So that means the soap server object will be decoded before its parent (Server2) has been compiled. This causes the server object to be updated in the session storage to be of class entry PHP_COMPLETE_CLASS. The consequence of this is that the check: Z_OBJCE_P(tmp_soap_p) == service->soap_class.ce) will fail, causing the session not to work. I see two options to fix this: - Delay deserialization by storing the object as a string. Proof of concept implementation that works here: https://github.com/nielsdos/php-src/pull/52 - Live with this limitation that the session must not be started before the classes are loaded, and emit a warning to the user. I looked into this but the warning is thrown away by the handle() method.

Thanks a lot!
