Bug #17419 Updated: Complex objects not correctly stored in ssession

ID: 17419 Updated by: wdseelig@ncms.org Reported By: wseelig@ncms.org Status: Feedback Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Apache PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: OK -- I have tried to telnet to the domain and cannot do that either. Here is the URL: http://sql.wash-gop.com/wyck/WebSiteII/html/simpleclass.php Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-26 12:04:35] sander@php.net You don't need telnet access for this. Just telnet from your local box to the webserver, i.e. telnet www.yourdomain.com 80 Alternatively, post an url of that page here (or mail it me, if you prefer to keep it private) and I'll see what I can do. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-26 08:20:25] wdseelig@ncms.org I am developing on a web server to which I do not normally have telnet privileges, but I will ask them if they can open this up to me. I apologize for putting Apache rather than the OS. I'll get that for you as soon as I can -- it is BSD something. Thank you for looking at this!

Can you try to telnet'ing manually to your webserver and give us the HTTP response? Also, Apache is not an OS. Please update the field above. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-05-24 16:47:42] wseelig@ncms.org Complex objects are not correctly stored in a session. This report is similar to 8676, which was reported fixed. It now appears to be broken in 4.2.1. Here is a code scriplet to demonstrate the problem: <? class Alpha { var $alpha1; var $betavar; function Alpha() { $this->betavar =& new Beta(&$this); //Let Beta use Alpha's methods and properties $this->alpha1 = 22; } function getvar() { return $this->alpha1; } } class Beta { var $beta1; var $alphacall; function Beta(&$par) { $this->alphacall = &$par; //alphacall will let Beta use Alpha's methods and properties $this->beta1 = 5; } function getalphavar() { print("<br>The value of the alphavar from within Beta is: " . $this->alphacall->alpha1 ); } } session_start(); if (! session_is_registered("pm") ) { session_register("pm"); // register and instantiate the variable $pm =& new Alpha(); } print("<br>The vaue of alpha1 is: " . $pm->getvar() ); print("<br>The value of beta1 is: " . $pm->betavar->beta1); print("<br>" . $pm->betavar->getalphavar() ); ?> OBSERVED BEHAVIOR: When this page is loaded the first time, everything works as expected, and the values of alpha1, and beta 1 print out just fine. However, attempts to refresh the page yield a browser error message "This page cannot be displayed". This structure worked (flakily) on 4.04pi1, and I was hoping that the fix of 8676 would have made it solid in 4.2.1. However, the situation is now worse--the above structure NEVER works. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17419&edit=1
