note 85260 added to function.get-object-vars

When casting object instance to an array, PHP creates array keys for public, and also protected and private members. So this can be solution how to view public/private/protected properties. Examples: - protected property named "_wheelCount" defined in class "Car" can be found in array under key "\x00*\x00_wheelCount" - private property named "_dbConnection" defined in class "SqlDb" can be found in array under key "\x00SqlDb\x00_dbConnection"; (note that \x00 is real NUL-character, so it cannot be viewed on console nor browser). <? class Foo { public $public; protected $protected; private $private; public function __construct() { $this->public = 'p'; $this->public = 'i am public'; $this->protected = 'i am protected'; $this->private = 'i am private'; } } $foo = new Foo(); $foo_to_array = (array)$foo; // Cast object to array var_dump($foo_to_array); /* Outputs following: (note that char \x00 is normally not visible, I substitied it for keeping example clear ) array(3) { ["public"]=> string(11) "i am public" ["\x00*\x00protected"]=> string(14) "i am protected" ["\x00Foo\x00private"]=> string(12) "i am private" } */ ?> ---- Server IP: 147.32.160.17 Probable Submitter: 193.179.134.86 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-object-vars.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85260 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85260/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85260/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85260/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85260/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85260/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85260/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85260 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85260 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
