From: adam at trachtenberg dot com Operating system: * PHP version: 5CVS-2003-11-15 (dev) PHP Bug Type: Zend Engine 2 problem Bug description: zend_parse_parameters() doesn't coerce overloaded objects into strings
Description: ------------ When passing an object with a __toString() method to a function that uses zend_parse_parameters() with an "s" value, PHP does not correctly coerce the object into a string. This occurs for both extensions (like SimpleXML) and user-defined PHP classes. Reproduce code: --------------- class foo { function __toString() { return "foo"; } } $foo = new foo; print strrev($foo) ."\n"; print htmlspecialchars($foo) ."\n"; Alternatively: $xml = '<?xml version="1.0" ?><root><element>text</element></root>'; $s = simplexml_load_string($xml); print strrev($s->element) ."\n"; print htmlspecialchars($s->element) ."\n"; Expected result: ---------------- oof foo Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, object given in foo.php on line 10 oof strrev() uses convert_to_string_ex(), so it works fine. htmlspecialchars() uses zend_parse_parms(), so there's a warning. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26265&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26265&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26265&r=trysnapshot5 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26265&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26265&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26265&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26265&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26265&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26265&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26265&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26265&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26265&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26265&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26265&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26265&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26265&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=26265&r=float
