Re: PHP 5 and Shared objects

The object itself is being serialized and re-created. You can read about how sessions affect objects at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop.serialization.php PHP is still cool, don't be dismayed :) Regards, Greg Salah Faya wrote:

What I meant is with PHP5 objects aren't treated as associated-variables so we don't have to serialize them, do we? so when I share an object over some session the object itself will actually stay alive and only the resource-id will be passed from file to file trhough same session, in other words the object is not being recreated while keeping its resource-id in a registered session variable, or I'm wrong? About the global object, it could be a security risk if the programmer is gonna use it badly (u r right) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Greg Beaver" <greg@chiaraquartet.net> To: "Salah Faya" <salah@e-touch.ws> Cc: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, April 21, 2003 11:05 PM Subject: Re: PHP 5 and Shared objects

This is already possible in php 4. However, both file1.php and file2.php must begin with a session_start() call. A global object (common to all sessions) is a big security risk, I would be surprised if it is considered a feature by the php team. You can simulate such a thing yourself, by using a database, or a file on the server backend that contains the serialized contents of the object, and retrieve them in the beginning of each file.

As I've understood that PHP5 OOP will allow us to use a session-level

shared

objects smoothly, as in example: - file1.php session_register('myObj'); $myObj = new myClass(2003); $x = $myObj->year; // returns 2003 header('location: file2.php?PHPSESID='.session_id()); - file2.php if (isset($_SESSION['myObj'])) { $myObj=$_SESSION['myObj']; echo $myObj->year; // should also return 2003 } am I right? please correct me And if that's correct, is there a way to make a global object over all sessions (immortal object)? can this be a good feature to request?
