Bug #12497: Problem with serialize/unserialize

From: ricardo@construnet.com.br Operating system: Any PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Class/Object related Bug description: Problem with serialize/unserialize $myVar = "Some Text"; $myVarCopy = $myVar; $myVar = unserialize(serialize($myVarCopy)); echo "MD5 Of myVar: ". md5(serialize($myVar))."<BR>"; echo "MD5 Of myVarCopy: ". md5(serialize($myVarCopy))."<BR>"; This is okay, but if $myVar is a complex Object, for instance an Object which has variables that point to other objects (and so on), the serialization fails badly. The class is restored appropriately (knows it´s type etc) but there is data missing... -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=12497&edit=1
