Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-28 11:47:15] mattias dot segerdahl at bitcom dot se Manual entries for var_dump and print_r contradicts eachother, this behaviour is not to be expected. Please follow your own words and read the manual before setting bug to bogus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-28 11:39:32] tony2001@php.net That's how they should work, this is expected behaviour. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-28 11:12:39] mattias dot segerdahl at bitcom dot se http://www.php.net/manual/ says: print_r() and var_export() will also show protected and private properties of objects with PHP 5, on the contrary to var_dump(). Ok, i'm game with that, no biggie, I still believe it's the wrong arpoch, print_r and var_export should only show private/protected if used within the class. But, let's look at the documentation that you refered me to. Reading it, it belive that var_dump would not report these, so, I had a look there as well.. From var_dump: In PHP 5 only public, private and protected properties of objects will be returned in the output. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-27 23:49:58] tony2001@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug.
