note 109514 added to function.escapeshellarg

Take care if using escapeshellarg() on serialized objects. Serialized objects contain null bytes, and escapeshellarg stops on the first null byte so you will not receive the full argument. (I consider this a bug, though not sure what it should do in this case. Probably serialize shouldn't have used null bytes, but too late for that now). The workaround I've found to pass serialized objects on the command line is to base64_encode() them first and decode on the other side. ---- Server IP: 212.199.163.163 Probable Submitter: 95.35.46.7 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.escapeshellarg.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/109514 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109514/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109514/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109514/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109514/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109514/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109514/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/109514 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/109514 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
