Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem
Operating System: *
PHP Version: 5.0.0
New Comment:
I really *really* don't understand why this bug (it is a bug ..
everyone sees it that way) doesn't get fixed. It's quite important ...
Padding the variables with nulls and classname or * is not my
suggestion or hack, it's what I've seen it does looking in the session
file. Currently ther eis no other way to selectively save variables
between sessions.
Right now i'm using the Reflection API to autodetect property types and
then construct the array for __sleep(). Hope I won't be force to develop
too many of those ...
For {albin at kth dot se}: the point of specifying which variables to
save is quite easy to explain .. sometimes you only want to save a few
out of a bunch of properties. Its easier to state those which you want
to save than those which you don't. Of course, sometimes its the othr
way around and you wish you had something to specify those you don't
want. Here's where the Reflection API can help (see the Zend2 Engine
changes, bottom:

What is even the point of __sleep being supposed to return an array of
the properties that should be serialized? I think it would be much
easier just to manually unset those variables that you DON'T want to
serialize, and letting PHP serialize everything else.
I thought __sleep was supposed just to be a way of closing
database-connections etc, but due to the current implementation that
seems almost impossible.

Verified.
The workaround still works too.

PHP5.0.0 still exhibits this behaviour.
Is there anything else I can provide to help with this
issue/bug?
Thanks,
Rob

Anyone have any more current news on this bug?
The bug seems to still persist in php5 rc3. mastabog's suggestion of
padding the variable name with nulls for private, padding the * for
protected and nothing for public works, but seems like an ugly hack.
My biggest fear is when the bug is patched, my variable names will be
double padded and things will start to break.
