If you want to customize json serialization make use of the JsonSerializable interface.

It would be great if I could control the properties with __get Test script: --------------- class Example { public foo; public function __construct() { $this->foo = 'bar; } public function __get($param) { return $this->$param . ' modified'; } } $foo = new Example(); echo json_encode($foo); Expected result: ---------------- {"foo":"bar modified"} Actual result: -------------- {"foo":"bar"} ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65858&edit=1
