Description

The extbase persistence layer (actually the object container) creates empty objects, by-passing the constructor, by unserializing a faked serialized empty object.
This no longer works in PHP 5.6. The unserialize() call fails fatally ("Erroneous data format").

http://php.net/manual/en/function.unserialize.php:

Changelog
---------
Version    Description
5.6.0      *Manipulating the serialised data by replacing C: with O: to force object instantiation without calling the constructor will now fail.*

Instead of unserialize(), public object ReflectionClass::newInstanceWithoutConstructor ( void ) must be used: http://php.net/manual/de/reflectionclass.newinstancewithoutconstructor.php (PHP >= 5.4)

TYPO3 6.2 was declared to be compatible with PHP <= 5.5, until 2 days ago, when I reported https://forge.typo3.org/issues/66468.
Now, TYPO3 6.2 is officially declared as compatible to PHP 5.3.7-5.6.x (http://typo3.org/download/). Therefore I regard this a high priority issue, as extbase is factually broken on PHP 5.6.

The error occurs in this line: https://github.com/TYPO3/TYPO3.CMS/blob/TYPO3_6-2/typo3/sysext/extbase/Classes/Object/Container/Container.php#L121

PHP 5.3 will still need the unserialize() call. PHP 5.4-5.6 can use ReflectionClass::newInstanceWithoutConstructor().

This is "half a duplicate" of https://forge.typo3.org/issues/66473.

Note that Bug #66473 targets TYPO3 7, but mentions "This also needs to fixed for TYPO3 6.2 though which supports PHP 5.3, in which case checking for the Serializable interface and using C instead of O could work".

Should a separate Bug targeting TYPO3 6.2 be kept?
Could "doctrine/instantiator" be introduced even in a 6.2.x release?

A Doctrine2-style fix like https://github.com/marmotz/doctrine2/commit/93c276d059b40b0783ba9a24549a8b135e257693 should certainly be possible in the next 6.2 patchlevel.

In getInstanceInternal(), first injectDependencies() is called, then initializeObject().

Doing it the other way around in getEmptyObject() would mean introducing a new bug. :) (initializeObject() might use injected objects.)

Also, there might be code depending on the fact that initializeObject is NOT called when reconstituting an object from DB. Therefore, adding initializeObject() here is a breaking change for some, while adding newInstanceWithoutConstructor() (ideally with the Doctrine workaround for final classes etc.) is only a bugfix without negative side effects.

Regarding if($classInfo->getIsInitializeable() && is_callable(array($object, 'initializeObject')): Shouldn't getIsInitializeable() have to be enough? Or in other words: If an is_callable() check is needed, isn't getIsInitializable() broken? I do see that one works on the class and the other works on the object, but the current solution still seems wrong by design.

Isn't this a duplicate of #66473 ? We should close this one or the other, I'd opt to close this one, as the other has more information gathered.

This fix isn't part of doctrine any more. Now the doctrine/instantiator code is used:

https://github.com/doctrine/doctrine2/blob/master/lib/Doctrine/ORM/Mapping/ClassMetadataInfo.php#L912

There is imho no way around that!

I guess you are right.

For me, you can close this issue in favour of #66473.
I only find it very important that this makes it into the 6.2 LTS, since you cannot keep people using PHP < 5.6 as long as they run the LTS.
