Can't update properties of stored objects

  • Hi there

    i’m trying to update properties of a stored object (a stdClass). But they won’t be updated inside the session.
    for example

    $s = WP_Session::get_instance();
$s['obj'] = new stdClass();
$s['obj']->test = 'yep';

    will correctly store the stdClass into the session. But when i later wan’t to change “test” or add a new property to “obj”, it will be lost upon the next reload.

    What’s wrong here? Thank you for any help.

    Cheers
    Stefan

    Ok, it seems the dirty flag doesn’t get updated when properties of an object are changed. I’ve solved this now by adding a changed flag by myself as a root array element, which will cause the dirty flag to get updated.

    Strange anyway.

    Strange indeed. Would you care to share your changes?

    Hi Eric

    i don’t really have changes. The bug still exists. I just have a simple workaround.

    Whenever i change a property inside a object in the session, i’ll update a changed flag on the session array too, so the “dirty” flag gets updated and the session data will be rewritten.

    This will work

    $s = WP_Session::get_instance();
$s['obj']->test = 'nope';
$s['myupdateflag'] = microtime();

    This won’t work

    $s = WP_Session::get_instance();
$s['obj']->test = 'nope';

    Thankyou, @hubersen – I was suffering with exactly the same issue: trying to update a WP_Session object that already existed just wasn’t working. I added a dirty flag each time the session data was appended to (via ajax) and boom – all my values are stored. Works like a charm.

    Just verifying that this ‘dirty’ fix is working for me as well. Thanks for sharing.
