#40477 [NEW]: object's read property handler not used in zend_print_zval_r_ex

From: piotrek dot pokora at gmail dot com Operating system: debian/linux PHP version: 5.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Variables related Bug description: object's read property handler not used in zend_print_zval_r_ex Description: ------------ zend_print_zval_r_ex uses object's get_properties handler and prints properties HashTable without using read_property handler. For custom object handlers hooks it means that get_properties should be also implemented as hook which leads to too much overloaded implementation as get_properties seems to be invoked for read and write hooks. Taking performance into account , one would sacrifice performance problem for print_r ( which is not used in real production environment ) which could use object's read_property handler hook. Reproduce code: --------------- Implement read and write property hooks for object. Assuming that property's data is set in C extension one is able to call: echo $object->prop; which prints property's value, while print_r($object); prints object's properties without values. I know I can implement own get_properties hook , but unfortunatelly I can not find suitable docs for such implementation. I think one should be able to reproduce it with mysqli extension which implement only get and read property hooks. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40477&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=40477&r=mysqlcfg
