PHP 4.0 Bug #6238 Updated: var_dump() param for deactivating reference following

ID: 6238 Updated by: waldschrott Reported By: waldschrott@php.net Status: Analyzed Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Assigned To: Comments: hah, just found out that get_object_vars() doesn´t work with circular references too... very bad summary, using circular references very much makes scripts very hard (impossible) to debug because of this bug. You´ll have to kill all circular references to be able to debug objects, depending on number of CRs it´s perhaps no trivial task cos there´s no function like get_object_references() to be able to kill them so var_dump() supports multiple variables, then perhaps svar_dump() for safe var dump or any other name maybe get_object_vars() can get this second SAFETY parameter....
