#35557 [Opn->Bgs]: Non-scalar properties of objects stored in session variables aren't kept

ID: 35557 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: fcardinaux at gmail dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Windows XP Pro PHP Version: 5CVS-2005-12-05 (snap) New Comment: Don't store objects in sessions. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-05 20:39:53] fcardinaux at gmail dot com I'm sorry, but it seems that this bug can't reproduce within a single script. Three php files are necessary : a class definition file (class.php, 61 lines), a start page (index.php, 47 lines) that links to a verification page (verification.php, 24 lines), where the bug appears. These files are enclosed in the archive www.cardinaux.info/session_problem_with_php_5_1_2_dev.zip. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-05 16:43:37] fcardinaux at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Classes are defined in the file class.php. The class bar contains only one scalar property. The class foo contains three properties : an instance of the class bar, an array and a scalar property. In index.php, an instance of foo is stored in a session variable. Then the print_r function is called to display this variable's content. There isn't any bug at this point yet. By clicking on 'continue', you open the next file : verification.php. There, the print_r function is called again. As you can see, the content of the non-scalar properties of foo is lost. This is different from the behaviour of php versions until 5.0.5. Reproduce code: --------------- www.cardinaux.info/session_problem_with_php_5_1_2_dev.zip Expected result: ---------------- Verification.php should output : Foo Session Variable : foo Object ( [_bar:private] => bar Object ( [_value:private] => 54321 ) [_names:private] => Array ( [0] => Boat [1] => Airplane [2] => Car ) [_value:private] => 1500 ) Actual result: -------------- Verification.php outputs : Foo Session Variable : foo Object ( [_bar:private] => [_names:private] => [_value:private] => 1500 ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35557&edit=1
