PHP 4.0 Bug #3256: eval & serialized data

From: anton@concord.ru Operating system: NT 4.0+IIS 4.0 PHP version: 4.0 Beta 3 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: eval & serialized data I use in my script serialized data from database, for example, data which was serialized by function 'serialize' set in 'DATA' field. Sample code: ... $Ser=mssql_result($MyResult,0,"DATA"); eval("\$Over=\$Ser;"); ... Parser error is occured after dinamic code evaluation. As you wrote in incompatible features list '{' and '}' symbols used for string encapsulation. But same symbols used as delimiters in serialization value. I changed souse code of 'serialize' and 'unserialize' functions. I Changed '{' and '}' delimiters to '[' and ']' delimiters. After rebuild sample code written above work without errors.
