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.

That's how they should work, this is expected behaviour.

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.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Description:
------------
print_r($Class) displays private/protected..


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class foo {

private $bar = array();
protected $foobar = array();

public function __construct() {
$this->bar['blah'] = 'asfdsdf';
$this->foobar['blah'] = '0as87d';
}
}

try {
$f = new foo();
print_r($f);
} catch (exception $e) {
die($e->getMessage());
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
foo Object ( [bar:private] => Array ( [blah] => ) [foobar:protected] =>
Array ( [blah] => ) )

Actual result:
--------------
foo Object ( [bar:private] => Array ( [blah] => asfdsdf )
[foobar:protected] => Array ( [blah] => 0as87d ) )
