ID: 11168 Updated by: sander Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old Status: Duplicate Status: Feedback Old Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug Type: Arrays related Operating System: RedHat PHP Version: 4.0.5 New Comment: Well... I thought serialize couldn't handle references at all... but it can (the manual confirms that). So it's not a feature request. But there IS a bug seomwhere... look at the following output made with PHP-4.0.6 (tested on Windows 2000 and Debian Linux): Wrong: Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => Ape1 [one] => Ape1 ) [1] => Array ( [0] => Ape2 [two] => Array *RECURSION* ) ) Right: Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => Ape1 [one] => Ape1 ) [1] => Array ( [0] => Ape2 [two] => Ape2 ) ) print_r($wrong_a[1][two]); results in: Array ( [0] => Ape2 [two] => Array ( [0] => Ape2 [two] => Array ( [0] => Ape2 [two] => Array *RECURSION* ) ) ) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-09-01 22:41:51] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm afraid I just don't see the "bug" here. On my machine, this shows: Wrong: Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => Ape1 [one] => Ape1 ) [1] => Array ( [0] => Ape2 [two] => Ape2 ) ) Right: Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => Ape1 [one] => Ape1 ) [1] => Array ( [0] => Ape2 [two] => Ape2 ) ) What's the problem? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-08-31 11:10:21] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not a bug.
