Example #1 Use of get_object_vars

<?php

    private $a;
    public $b = 1;
    public $c;
    private $d;
    static $e;
   
    public function test() {
        var_dump(get_object_vars($this));
    }
}

$test = new foo;
var_dump(get_object_vars($test));

$test->test();

?>

The above example will output:

array(2) {
  ["b"]=>
  int(1)
  ["c"]=>
  NULL
}
array(4) {
  ["a"]=>
  NULL

Uninitialized properties are considered inaccessible, and thus will not be included in the array.
