Description: ------------ I am using 0.10 of XML_Serializer (and XML_Unserializer) to serialize PHP objects into a database. I found a small "warning" bug.... if you serialize an array which is EMPTY, it gets transformed into valid XML: <autopage_options _class="autopage_options" _type="object"> <version _type="string">1.0</version> <options _type="array" /> </autopage_options> However, upon unserialization, a php-notice error: Notice: Undefined index: children in /usr/local/php/lib/ php/XML/Unserializer.php on line 419 It seems to be fixed by patching like so: /* * unserialize an array */ case "array": if ($data !== '') { $value["children"][$this- >options["contentName"]] = $data; } // add IF to only do assign if the value exists if (isset($value["children"])) $value["value"] = $value["children"]; break; Expected result: ---------------- I would expect that you could serialize / unserialize an empty array safely and without warning / error.
