Submitted: 2003-10-27 07:42 UTC Modified: 2003-11-28 10:42 UTC
From: david dot nicholls at camden dot gov dot uk Assigned: wez (profile)

Description:
------------
Get a Dr Watson crash when I attempt to serialize the data in the PasswordExpirationDate property from a WinNT:// call.

Visually the data is '02/11/2003 15:17:01'
the above text string does not cause a crash when serialized

Other returned properties can be serialized and code runs fine when the PasswordExpirationDate property is not serialized

Reproduce code:
---------------
Requires an NT 4 domain controller to test against (con provide code if required)

Actual result:
--------------
Dr Waston crashdump report available on request (not a small file) however following line seem pertinant

I probably won't be able to take a look at this for a couple of days, but could you try the following code and
see if it crashes too?

$v = new variant('02/11/2003 15:17:01', VT_DATE);
$s = serialize($v);

As a possible workaround, cast that property to a string
before assigning it to whatever you are serializing:

$data['expires'] = (string)$com->PasswordExpirationDate;
serialize($data);

The variant code crashes and the work around works :)

Many thanks again

Crash fixed; serialization of COM objects not yet implemented (requires some internal php magic).
Keep on casting to string for now :)
