From: BenBE at omorphia dot de Operating system: Windows 2K PHP version: 5.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Spotting references
Description: ------------ When trying to serialize a variable by hand you need a way to find out, if this variable contains references between two fields or circular references (recursion). Currently there's no way to do this without doing crappy tests (modifying the variables in questions and check for changes being reflected in the other one). Reproduce code: --------------- About 50 LOC (See my comment on Spotting References at http://php.net/manual/en/language.references.spot.php) Expected result: ---------------- //Using internal functionality ;-) $a = is_ref($var1, $var2); Actual result: -------------- Slow reference testing due to much overhead by not being supported by the PHP internals ... internally this would be about 10 LOC IMHO. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40051&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40051&r=mysqlcfg
