Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75704&edit=1 ID: 75704 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: ww dot galen at gmail dot com Summary: Document that objects in sessions are automatically serialized & unserialized. -Status: Open +Status: Verified Type: Documentation Problem Package: Session related Operating System: n/a PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I don't think it actually makes sense to describe session (un)serialization behavior on that page. That should better be done in the session documentation or on the $_SESSION page; a link to that documentation could be added to the serialization docs. Anyhow, the session_register() referrals need to be removed from that page. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-12-19 00:28:12] ww dot galen at gmail dot com Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/language.oop5.serialization --- The object serialization & sessions manual page gives the impression that the only way to automatically have an object be serialized and unserialized is through the use of the long since removed session_register(). It could use an update that explicitly states that objects in $_SESSION get serialized & unserialized automatically (with the latter being triggered by session_start()). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=75704&edit=1
