ID: 12497 Updated by: sander Reported By: ricardo@construnet.com.br Old Status: Feedback Status: Closed Bug Type: Class/Object related Operating System: Any PHP Version: 4.0.6 New Comment: No feedback. Closing. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-10-21 20:01:49] sniper@php.net Please include a shortest possible and complete example function which can be used by just copy'n'pasting it and which does not work. --Jani ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-07-31 16:37:32] ricardo@construnet.com.br $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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=12497&edit=1
