Need solution for logging private and protected object variables about firephp HOT 13 CLOSED

Here is a proof of concept using var_export().

<?php

class Dumper
{
  public static function __set_state($class, $members)
  {    
    $dump = array('__className'=>$class);
    foreach( $members as $name => $value ) {
      $dump[$name] = $value;
    }
    return $dump;
  }
}

class TestObject
{
  var $publicVar = 'Public Var';
  protected $protectedVar = 'Protected Var';
  private $privateVar = 'PrivateVar';
}

$obj = new TestObject();

$code = var_export($obj, true);

$code = str_replace('TestObject::__set_state(',
                    'Dumper::__set_state(\'TestObject\',', $code);

echo '<pre>';
echo $code;
echo '</pre>';

eval('$dump = ' . $code . ';');

echo '<pre>';
var_dump($dump);
echo '</pre>';

?>

This will be included in the next beta release.

hi Cristoph,
I suggest using the parseObject() function in the comments here:
http://es2.php.net/manual/en/function.get-object-vars.php

Take a look at:

http://code.google.com/p/firephp/source/browse/trunk/DevApp/application/bootstra
p/plain/LogPrivateObjectMembers.php

That is my planned implementation.

I think it will do the job just fine. I don't quite like parsing the output of 
print_r.

Hi Christoph. I just tried the new 0.2.b.2.
You export the object via var_export. Thats fine, but does not work with bigger 
vars
and does not handle recursions. Perhaps its possible to parse the ouptut of
serialize()? I think thats the only working solution for every case. Otherwise 
it is
not possible to use it with big objects.

I found a better solution using a cast to array. (array)$obj

I'll have an update available ASAP.

Please try 0.2.b.3

Using the following code:
<?php
require_once 'FirePHPCore/fb.php';
$obj1 = new stdClass;
$obj2 = new stdClass;
$obj1->p = $obj2;
$obj2->p = $obj1;
FB::log($obj1);

I'm getting a PHP error:
Fatal error: Nesting level too deep - recursive dependency? in

Are you using version 0.2.b.3 of the FirePHPCore library?

Never mind. I can reproduce it. Working on a fix.

Please try 0.2.b.4
