Bug description: Serializing objects with protected members introduces null
charcters
Description:
------------
The output from the serialization of objects that contain protected (and
possibly private also) members contains null characters. These characters
are unnecessary and can cause problems when inserting the serialized data
into databases.
An asterisk is placed before the variable name in the serialized string,
which I assume is to mark it as protected. This asterisk is surrounded by
null characters.
This appears to be the same as the closed #29865 (closed 10/2005), but in
version 5.2.5 and the latest snapshot, the bug still exists.
Reproduce code:
---------------
php -r 'class Foo { protected $bar = 1; } $v = new Foo; echo
serialize($v);' | hexdump
Expected result:
----------------
The output should not contain null characters (shown as '00') around the
asterisk.
Actual result:
--------------
