Bug #24202 problem with array of objects stored in session vars
Submitted: 2003-06-16 05:51 UTC Modified: 2003-06-16 10:33 UTC

Description:
------------
When I read an array of objects saved in a session variable I cannot access object's variables.

Print_r reports:

Array ( [0] => __PHP_Incomplete_Class Object ( [__PHP_Incomplete_Class_Name] => class_voucher_dettaglio [descrizione] => A3 [gg] => 1 [periodi] => 1 [base] => 23 [totale] => 23 )

This problem appears only when php retrieves variable from session_file (that appear correct)

Reproduce code:
---------------
while (list ($key, $val ) = each ($_SESSION ["PREV_DETTAGLIO"] ) )
    {
	 echo ($val->dettaglio); 
    }



Expected result:
----------------
list of values

Actual result:
--------------
nothing

You're doing something wrong. (not enough info to be sure, but it works just fine here when you do it right..)

I'm sure that there's something wrong.

this script shows the problem in 4.3.1/4.3.2 release for WIN

<?
class bogus
{
 var $a;
} 

$b = new bogus;
$b -> a = $HTTP_GET_VARS["b"]; 
    
$_SESSION ["SESS"] = array_merge ($_SESSION ["SESS"], array ($b) );

print_r ($_SESSION ["SESS"]);
reset ($_SESSION ["SESS"] );

$i = 0;
while (list ($key, $val ) = each ($_SESSION ["SESS"] ) )
 {
   echo $val->a;
 }	
?> 

the scalar version just work file

<?

$b = $HTTP_GET_VARS["b"]; 
    
$_SESSION ["SESS"] = array_merge ($_SESSION ["SESS"], array ($b) );

print_r ($_SESSION ["SESS"]);
reset ($_SESSION ["SESS"] );

$i = 0;
while (list ($key, $val ) = each ($_SESSION ["SESS"] ) )
 {
   echo $b;
 }	
?> 

thank you

second source correction:

<?

$b = $HTTP_GET_VARS["b"]; 
    
$_SESSION ["SESS"] = array_merge ($_SESSION ["SESS"], array ($b) );

print_r ($_SESSION ["SESS"]);
reset ($_SESSION ["SESS"] );

$i = 0;
while (list ($key, $val ) = each ($_SESSION ["SESS"] ) )
 {
   echo $val;
 }	
?> 

sorry for the mistake

doh! You forgot session_start() everywhere...
 [2003-06-16 10:14 UTC] admin at nexusfor dot com 
I'm lazy man so I set session.auto_start = 1 in my php.ini :-)

I also tried with explicit session_start(), the problem persists.

session serialiazation seems to works fine 
here the tmp file:

SESS|a:2:{i:0;O:5:"bogus":1:{s:1:"a";s:1:"1";}i:1;O:5:"bogus":1:{s:1:"a";s:1:"1";}}

Today is just an horrible monday for me, but I'm sure that there is something strange and I don't think that problem is in the script.

the code works fine in your environment ?

From the Friendly Manual:

"If you do turn on session.auto_start then you cannot put 
objects into your sessions since the class definition has to 
be loaded before starting the session in order to recreate
the objects in your session."
 [2003-06-16 10:31 UTC] admin at nexusfor dot com 
thank you for the suggestion.
 [2003-06-16 10:33 UTC] sniper@php.net 
It's not a suggestion, it's requirement. 
session.auto_start has to be OFF if you want to store
objects in sessions.
