Re: "The o serialization format has been removed. As it is never produced by PHP, this may only break unserialization of manually crafted strings."
This little-o serialisation format was used by PHP3 but was never generated by PH PHP4 or above. The deserialization code still recognised it, though, for reasons of backwards-compatibility with PHP3.
However, based on a bit of investigation, it looks like this code has been broken for about 15 years, so although this is listed as a deprecation, in practice it wasn't.
See this Stack Overflow question for a really great answer, with a lot more detail about this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65289729/what-was-phps-o-serialization-format-for
Cambios incompatibles hacia atrás
PHP Core
Array-style access of non-arrays
Intentar usar valores de tipo null, bool,
int, float o un resource como un
array (como $null["key"]) ahora generará un aviso.
Función get_declared_classes()
La función get_declared_classes() ya no devuelve las clases anónimas que aún no han sido instanciadas.
fn keyword
fn es ahora una palabra clave reservada. En particular,
ya no puede utilizarse como nombre de función o de clase.
Todavía se puede utilizar como nombre de método o constante de clase.
Etiqueta <?php al final del fichero
<?php al final del fichero (sin la nueva línea final)
se interpretará ahora como una etiqueta de apertura de PHP. Anteriormente se interpretaba
como una etiqueta de apertura corta seguida de php y
resultaba un error de sintaxis (con short_open_tag=1)
o se interpretaba como un string <?php
(con short_open_tag=0).
Stream wrappers
When using include/require on a stream,
streamWrapper::stream_set_option()
will be invoked with the STREAM_OPTION_READ_BUFFER option.
Custom stream wrapper implementations may need to implement the
streamWrapper::stream_set_option() method to
avoid a warning (always returning false is a sufficient implementation).
Serialization
The o serialization format has been removed.
As it is never produced by PHP, this may only break unserialization of
manually crafted strings.
Password algorithm constants
Password hashing algorithm identifiers are now nullable strings rather than integers.
-
PASSWORD_DEFAULTwas int 1; now isnull -
PASSWORD_BCRYPTwas int 1; now is string '2y' -
PASSWORD_ARGON2Iwas int 2; now is string 'argon2i' -
PASSWORD_ARGON2IDwas int 3; now is string 'argon2id'
Applications correctly using the constants PASSWORD_DEFAULT, PASSWORD_BCRYPT, PASSWORD_ARGON2I, and PASSWORD_ARGON2ID will continue to function correctly.
Función htmlentities()
htmlentities() will now raise a notice (instead of a strict standards warning) if it is used with an encoding for which only basic entity substitution is supported, in which case it is equivalent to htmlspecialchars().
Funciones fread() y fwrite()
fread() y fwrite() ahora
devolverán false si la operación ha fallado.
Anteriormente se devolvía un string vacío o un 0.
EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK no se consideran fallos.
Estas funciones ahora también lanzan un aviso en caso de fallo, como cuando se intenta escribir en un recurso de archivo de sólo lectura.
BCMath Arbitrary Precision Mathematics
BCMath functions will now warn if a non well-formed number is passed, such
as "32foo". The argument will be interpreted as zero, as before.
CURL
Attempting to serialize a CURLFile class will now generate an exception. Previously the exception was only thrown on unserialization.
Using CURLPIPE_HTTP1 is deprecated, and is no longer
supported as of cURL 7.62.0.
The $version parameter of curl_version()
is deprecated. If any value not equal to the default CURLVERSION_NOW
is passed, a warning is raised and the parameter is ignored.
Date and Time
Calling var_dump() or similar on a DateTime or DateTimeImmutable instance will no longer leave behind accessible properties on the object.
Comparison of DateInterval objects
(using ==, <, and so on) will now generate
a warning and always return false. Previously all DateInterval
objects were considered equal, unless they had properties.
Intl
The default parameter value of idn_to_ascii() and
idn_to_utf8() is now INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_UTS46
instead of the deprecated INTL_IDNA_VARIANT_2003.
MySQLi
The embedded server functionality has been removed. It was broken since at least PHP 7.0.
The undocumented mysqli::$stat property has been removed
in favor of mysqli::stat().
OpenSSL
The openssl_random_pseudo_bytes() function will now
throw an exception in error situations, similar to random_bytes().
In particular, an Error is thrown if the number of
requested bytes is less than or equal to zero, and an Exception
is thrown if sufficient randomness cannot be gathered.
The $crypto_strong output argument is guaranteed to always
be true if the function does not throw, so explicitly checking it is not necessary.
Regular Expressions (Perl-Compatible)
When PREG_UNMATCHED_AS_NULL mode is used, trailing
unmatched capturing groups will now also be set to null (or
[null, -1] if offset capture is enabled).
This means that the size of the $matches will always be the same.
PHP Data Objects
Attempting to serialize a PDO or PDOStatement instance will now generate an Exception rather than a PDOException, consistent with other internal classes which do not support serialization.
Reflection
Reflection objects will now generate an exception if an attempt is made to serialize them. Serialization for reflection objects was never supported and resulted in corrupted reflection objects. It has been explicitly prohibited now.
Standard PHP Library (SPL)
Calling get_object_vars() on an ArrayObject
instance will now always return the properties of the ArrayObject
itself (or a subclass). Previously it returned the values of the wrapped
array/object unless the ArrayObject::STD_PROP_LIST
flag was specified.
Other affected operations are:
- ReflectionObject::getProperties()
- reset(), current(), etc. Use Iterator methods instead.
- Potentially others working on object properties as a list, e.g. array_walk().
(array) casts are not affected. They will continue to
return either the wrapped array, or the ArrayObject
properties, depending on whether the ArrayObject::STD_PROP_LIST
flag is used.
SplPriorityQueue::setExtractFlags() will throw an exception if zero is passed. Previously this would generate a recoverable fatal error on the next extraction operation.
ArrayObject, ArrayIterator,
SplDoublyLinkedList and SplObjectStorage
now support the __serialize() and __unserialize()
mechanism in addition to the Serializable interface.
This means that serialization payloads created on older PHP versions can still be
unserialized, but new payloads created by PHP 7.4 will not be understood by older versions.
Tokenizer
token_get_all() will now emit a
T_BAD_CHARACTER token for unexpected
characters instead of leaving behind holes in the token stream.
Incoming Cookies
As of PHP 7.4.11, the names of incoming cookies are no longer url-decoded for security reasons.
