From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Operating system: any PHP version: 4.0.6 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: Object unserialization and session_start I saw many reports about object serialization/unserialization and I want to clarify what I understood. Let's say you have the file 'foo.php' that defines the class 'foo': <?php class foo { var $bar = 0; function foo() { $this->bar = 1; } } ?> and another file that uses this class: <?php include_once 'foo.php'; start_session(); if(!isset($f)) { $f = new foo(); session_register('f'); print "New object<br>"; } else { $f->bar = 5; print "Object from session<br>"; } ?> This code works, but if I: 1) put start_session() BEFORE the inclusion of foo.php 2) execute some code BEFORE the inclusion of foo.php 3) set session.auto_start to 1 in php.ini I will receive this error: Fatal error: The script tried to execute a method or access a property of an incomplete object. Please ensure that the class definition foo of the object you are trying to operate on was loaded _before_ the session was started in ... This is due to the fact that in the moment you execute even a single line of code php starts the unserialization. In practice, with this behaviour, it's impossible to work with object in session with session.auto_start set. Will there be a workaround or a solution to this problem? -- Edit bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=13298&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
