Same think is happened when i wanna example transfere Object to json format, there should be some way that i could get data that i wanna. This could be very useful example using with Zend Framwork encoding a Database Table Row (http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.db.table.row.html) where data is in private variable. if not a Core function (that it should be in my opinion) then SPL interface would be needed. Reproduce code: --------------- class Test { protected $_data = array(); public function __set($var, $value) {$this->_data[$var] = $value;} public function __get($var) { if (isset($this->_data[$var])) {return $this->_data[$var]; } trigger_error('Undefined property: ' . __CLASS__ . '::$' . $var, E_USER_NOTICE); return null; } public function __isset($var) {return isset($this->_data[$var]);} public function __object_vars() { return $this->_data; } } $json = new Test(); $json->variable = 'value'; echo json_encode($json); Expected result: ---------------- {"variable":"value"} Actual result: -------------- {} ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=45375&edit=1
