I'm just curious to find out if I'm the only person to have bumped into
this kind of issue with serialize/unserialize.
When I try and serialize an array containing a string value with the "?"
character (alt+241 ASCII) such as :
"120GB 2X512MB 15.4IN DVD?RW VHP FR"
The resulting serialized array is truncated.
ie. I would obtain :
"a:17:{i:0;s:1:"A";i:1;s:7:"TOSHIBA";i:2;s:4:"3740";i:3;s:7:"404D862";i:4;s:31:"SATELLITE
A100-044 CD/T2060-1.6";i:5;s:35:"120GB 2X512MB 15.4IN DVD"
As you can see serialization seems to stall as soon as the "?" character
shows up.
I don't see the effect you're mentioning, but this is on FreeBSD, so
perhaps there's a problem on Windows. I don't really believe it,
though, and would hazard a guess you're running into display problems
with your browser.
Another thing to mention is that ASCII only goes up to 127. You may
desire for ASCII 241 to mean +/-, but n-tilde is also a popular
interpretation... Use a character set which actually includes +/- as a
single character, and an encoding that can handle that charset.
I'm probably just running into so encoding issues with the CSV files I'm
using on which I have no control whatsoever.
The following test fails in 5.2.1:
<?php
class serializeASCII241 extends Tence_TestCase
{
function testTruncates()
{
return $this->assertEquals(
"120GB 2X512MB 15.4IN DVD",
serialize("120GB 2X512MB 15.4IN DVD" . chr(241) . "RW VHP FR")
);
}
}
?>
I'd just like to point out that your test will fail systematically
unless you use something like this :
function testTruncates()
{
$string = "120GB 2X512MB 15.4IN DVD" . chr(241) . "RW VHP FR";
return $this->assertEquals(
"s:" . strlen($string) . ":\"120GB 2X512MB 15.4IN DVD",
serialize("120GB 2X512MB 15.4IN DVD" . chr(241) . "RW VHP FR")
);
}
