#44970 [NEW]: Documentation error on Object Serialization & mention of "main()"

From: flebron at bumeran dot com Operating system: Windows XP PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Documentation error on Object Serialization & mention of "main()" Description: ------------ The "Object Serialization" page at http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop.serialization.php says that when using unserialize() to revive an object, if there is no class definition for that object available at the time of unserialize()ing, the object will be of class stdClass. The object is actually a of class __PHP_Incomplete_Class, as reported by get_class(), Reflection and var_export(). Also, the error when using any method of an instance of __PHP_Incomplete_Class reports it's happening in "main", and links to the definition of "main" on PHP.net, which itself states this shouldn't happen. A script to reproduce this can be found on the manual page for object serialization. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=44970&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=44970&r=mysqlcfg
