note 57621 added to function.serialize

Be careful trying to serialize objects containing private or protected data members. It appears that the serialization process includes characters in the result string to indicate the visibility of each member, but the characters used to denote protected or private data are outside the normal character set and can cause problems as you pass them through applications. I haven't found the culprit in my particular case, so I can't say that this is a bug in PHP, but it certainly is causing me some annoyance in my particular situation. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.serialize.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+57621 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57621&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57621&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57621&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57621&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57621&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57621&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+57621&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+57621&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
