Bug #52393 __destructor of parameter object called on return
Submitted: 2010-07-21 20:23 UTC Modified: 2010-07-27 12:35 UTC
From: r dot spliet at student dot tudelft dot nl Assigned:
Status: Closed Package: Class/Object related
PHP Version: 5.3.2 OS: Fedora 13
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
The situation is as following:
class mysqlControl holds a MySQL connection. This class has a __destruct() method to close this connection properly
Class x has one of these mysqlControl objects as a private variable.
Class y has a method to represent itself in a MySQL way, and needs to escape a string. For this it needs the mysqlControl that class X holds.

Now what happens is that Class x calls Class y's method to represent itself in some form that's useful to query MySQL. As a parameter to y's method X gives it's mysqlControl. Before y's method actually starts executing, mysqlControl's destructor is called. This means the connection is closed, and everything breaks.

Expected result:
----------------
I expected method y to not call mysqlControl's destructor but just uses the mysqlControl given and forgets about it.

Actual result:
--------------
mysqlControl's destructor gets called, breaking the mysql_real_escape_string() method before it could be used by class Y's method.

Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we
need a short but complete example script to be able to reproduce
this bug ourselves. 

A proper reproducing script starts with <?php and ends with ?>,
is max. 10-20 lines long and does not require any external 
resources such as databases, etc. If the script requires a 
database to demonstrate the issue, please make sure it creates 
all necessary tables, stored procedures etc.

Please avoid embedding huge scripts into the report.

My apologies. My problems were not related to class destruction on itself, but on the behaviour of mysql_connect(). A different object's destructor was (correctly) called, leading to the confusion. debug_print_backtrace() confirmed PHP's behaviour is correct and documented.
