note 111602 added to function.serialize

Oddly, if you serialize a class that was previously unserialized, the class of the variable changes to string... Example: $R = unserialize($serialized_object); $R->method(); // this is ok $str = serialize($R); echo(get_class($R)); this will output "string"!!!!! whereas if the first line was $R = new my_class(); it would output "my_class"! I don't know if that is a bug, but the manual is not clear about that! (somehow $R in serialize($R) is being passed by reference, since it changes class). ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.199 Probable Submitter: 189.124.207.62 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/111602 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111602/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111602/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111602/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111602/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111602/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111602/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/111602 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/111602 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
