From: s...@php.net Operating system: Win7 PHP version: 5.3.2RC3 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Unserialized objects with prototype changes results in duplicated properties
Description: ------------ If you serialize an object in the session and then change the properties declaration from public to protected (or any other change), the unserialized objects will have duplicated properties, once public and once protected, and the object will not be able to read the public value so it means the object state is broken. This is obviously due to the way the protected values are stored as "\0*\0property" => "value", but I still think the default unserializer code should check if "property" exists, and fill it no matter what the access level is, rather than creating another property with the same name. I don't know how easy it'd be and how it would impact performance though, but it's quite scary that the engine even allows having two properties with different access levels and the same name. Reproduce code: --------------- // Run once like this, then change public $property to protected $property, run again and look at var_dump output session_start(); class testClass { public $property; public function __construct($val) { $this->property = $val; } } if (!isset($_SESSION['obj'])) { $_SESSION['obj'] = new testClass('value'); } var_dump($_SESSION['obj']); Expected result: ---------------- object(testClass)[1] protected 'property' => string 'value' (length=5) Actual result: -------------- object(testClass)[1] protected 'property' => null public 'property' => string 'value' (length=5) -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=51173&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51173&r=mysqlcfg
