In that case the code produced by var_export causes an unexpected T_CLASS parse error. Here's the code produced by var_export for the array with an object: array ( 0 => class myclass { var $myProperty = 'myValue'; }, ); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-24 00:14:37] Knightking at smempire dot org Description: ------------ When var_export is called on an object which has another object as one of its members, it does not produce valid code. Reproduce code: --------------- $a->b = 1; eval(var_export($a, 1) . ';'); Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class stdclass in test.php(3) : eval()'d code on line 1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=29361&edit=1
