#43154 [NEW]: __toArray() or __toIterator() Magic Method?

From: smoseley at transio dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.2.4 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: __toArray() or __toIterator() Magic Method? Description: ------------ Would love to see a __toArray() MM added that would default to an associative array of an object's properties in scope, but that could be overloaded with whatever. It would be very useful in cases where a specific method is required to iterate through an object's properties.
