Bug description: objects destroyed on callback functions
Description:
------------
It is already filed as Bug #39693, but I did not find a way to reopen it
or comment on it. I believe it has been marked as bogus in mistake, or at
least with not enough pondering about the problem.
I'm sure this wasn't the behavior in earlier versions of PHP 5, since my
code just broke with the upgrade, exactly because objects are now
destroyed, but it worked fine before.
At least mentioning this new behavior in the docs (on ob_start) would be
sensitive. But to me it's waaay weird that everything else works in those
callback functions, except objects.
I think it's pretty severe, since this change of behavior breaks
compatibility and makes output buffer processing useless for OO
applications. I had to change a lot of code - for the worse - to make it
compatible.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
ob_start('callback');
class Test {
function method() {
return 'cow';
}
}
$test = new Test();
function callback ($content) {
global $test;
return 'm:'.$test->method();
}
?>
Expected result:
----------------
cow
Actual result:
--------------
[none]
