#17436 [Com]: objects don't persist in sessions

ID: 17436 Comment by: iain at lexingtonwarner dot com Reported By: ndp at mac dot com Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: MacOS X 10.1.4 PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: Hi, is it possible to have something like "Class definitions must appear prior to object being unserialized" as someone has written here, in the error message? That was the comment that helped me out of my little hole :-) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-03-26 00:58:29] rasmus@php.net This bug has been fixed in CVS. In case this was a PHP problem, snapshots of the sources are packaged every three hours; this change will be in the next snapshot. You can grab the snapshot at http://snaps.php.net/. In case this was a documentation problem, the fix will show up soon at http://www.php.net/manual/. In case this was a PHP.net website problem, the change will show up on the PHP.net site and on the mirror sites in short time. Thank you for the report, and for helping us make PHP better. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-09-16 14:55:39] derick@php.net It should be documented that session autostart causes this problem (read latest posting by user). Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-20 14:10:08] ndp at mac dot com Yes, the issue is indeed session auto_start. (I put a comment in about this, but don't see it now.) My recommendation was that the error message could be changed to indicate what is going on, as this was pretty hard to track down. The upgrade came with a new php.ini file, and I trusted it-- therefore it seemed like the new version was broken, when it wasn't. The error message could be something like "session objects are not compatible with session_auto_start setting". That would help you fix the problem. I put notes where I could on the php.net site, but it seems like someone else will undoubtedly run into the same problem and have the same difficulty diagnosing it.

Sessions are not working at all on my box. Looking into it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
