#24670 [NEW]: defining __call requires __sleep for serialize/session

From: tater at potatoe dot com Operating system: OS X 10.2 PHP version: 5CVS-2003-07-16 (dev) PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: defining __call requires __sleep for serialize/session Description: ------------ If you create a __call() method for a class, and then try to serialize it yourself, or store an object of that class in $_SESSION, you need to either explicitly define a __sleep() method as well, or make sure that __call() will respond appropriately. Otherwise serialize() will complain. It seems unlikely that this is a bug, though I suppose it might be a feature request. So it should just be spelled out in the documentation for __call() when that gets written. Reproduce code: --------------- class foo { function __call() { return; } } $a = new foo; serialize($a); Expected result: ---------------- n/a Actual result: -------------- n/a -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=24670&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24670&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24670&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24670&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24670&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24670&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24670&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24670&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24670&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24670&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24670&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24670&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24670&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24670&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24670&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=24670&r=gnused
