You can still cast the object to an array to get all its members and see its visibility. Example:
<?php
class Potatoe {
public $skin;
protected $meat;
private $roots;
function __construct ( $s, $m, $r ) {
$this->skin = $s;
$this->meat = $m;
$this->roots = $r;
}
}
$Obj = new Potatoe ( 1, 2, 3 );
echo "<pre>\n";
echo "Using get_object_vars:\n";
$vars = get_object_vars ( $Obj );
print_r ( $vars );
echo "\n\nUsing array cast:\n";
$Arr = (array)$Obj;
print_r ( $Arr );
?>
This will returns:
Using get_object_vars:
Array
(
[skin] => 1
)
Using array cast:
Array
(
[skin] => 1
[ * meat] => 2
[ Potatoe roots] => 3
)
As you can see, you can obtain the visibility for each member from this cast. That which seems to be spaces into array keys are '\0' characters, so the general rule to parse keys seems to be:
Public members: member_name
Protected memebers: \0*\0member_name
Private members: \0Class_name\0member_name
I've wroten a obj2array function that creates entries without visibility for each key, so you can handle them into the array as it were within the object:
<?php
function obj2array ( &$Instance ) {
$clone = (array) $Instance;
$rtn = array ();
$rtn['___SOURCE_KEYS_'] = $clone;
while ( list ($key, $value) = each ($clone) ) {
$aux = explode ("\0", $key);
$newkey = $aux[count($aux)-1];
$rtn[$newkey] = &$rtn['___SOURCE_KEYS_'][$key];
}
return $rtn;
}
?>
I've created also a <i>bless</i> function that works similar to Perl's bless, so you can further recast the array converting it in an object of an specific class:
<?php
function bless ( &$Instance, $Class ) {
if ( ! (is_array ($Instance) ) ) {
return NULL;
}
if ( isset ($Instance['___SOURCE_KEYS_'])) {
$Instance = $Instance['___SOURCE_KEYS_'];
}
$serdata = serialize ( $Instance );
list ($array_params, $array_elems) = explode ('{', $serdata, 2);
list ($array_tag, $array_count) = explode (':', $array_params, 3 );
$serdata = "O:".strlen ($Class).":\"$Class\":$array_count:{".$array_elems;
$Instance = unserialize ( $serdata );
return $Instance;
}
?>
With these ones you can do things like:
<?php
define("SFCMS_DIR", dirname(__FILE__)."/..");
require_once (SFCMS_DIR."/Misc/bless.php");
class Potatoe {
public $skin;
protected $meat;
private $roots;
function __construct ( $s, $m, $r ) {
$this->skin = $s;
$this->meat = $m;
$this->roots = $r;
}
function PrintAll () {
echo "skin = ".$this->skin."\n";
echo "meat = ".$this->meat."\n";
echo "roots = ".$this->roots."\n";
}
}
$Obj = new Potatoe ( 1, 2, 3 );
echo "<pre>\n";
echo "Using get_object_vars:\n";
$vars = get_object_vars ( $Obj );
print_r ( $vars );
echo "\n\nUsing obj2array func:\n";
$Arr = obj2array($Obj);
print_r ( $Arr );
echo "\n\nSetting all members to 0.\n";
$Arr['skin']=0;
$Arr['meat']=0;
$Arr['roots']=0;
echo "Converting the array into an instance of the original class.\n";
bless ( $Arr, Potatoe );
if ( is_object ($Arr) ) {
echo "\$Arr is now an object.\n";
if ( $Arr instanceof Potatoe ) {
echo "\$Arr is an instance of Potatoe class.\n";
}
}
$Arr->PrintAll();
?>
