#23280 [Opn->Bgs]: exit; inside __wakeup() forgets changes to session vars

ID: 23280 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: adamh at densi dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Linux 2.4.20 PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself. For a list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking support questions. Thank you for your interest in PHP. .

Browse to the page, it'll create the object and initialize p1, then var_dump() it. 2. Refresh. Through __wakeup(), p1 should be unset and then it should redirect. 3. (automatically redirected) __wakeup() should then run exit("No bug"); What DOES happen: In the second page, __wakeup() unsets p1 in a certain instance of the object, but that instance isn't the same as the one in $_SESSION["obj"]. Thus, the ACTUAL session object is not edited, and so we get an infinite redirect. The problem: It must be that if __wakeup() doesn't return the session is not updated. That's okay, I can live with that -- but at the very least, that behavior should be documented. On the other hand, as far as I know, it's a bug with PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=23280&edit=1
