例1 var_representation() Examples
<?php
$a = [1, 2, ['key' => 'value']];
echo var_representation($a), "\n";
echo var_representation($a, VAR_REPRESENTATION_SINGLE_LINE), "\n";

class A { public $var; }
$a = new A;
$a->var = 5;
echo var_representation($a);
?>上の例の出力は以下となります。
\A::__set_state([ 'var' => 5, ])
例5 Using __set_state()
<?php
class A
{
public $var1;
public $var2;
public static function __set_state($an_array)
{
$obj = new A;
$obj->var1 = $an_array['var1'];
$obj->var2 = $an_array['var2'];
return $obj;
}
}
$a = new A;
$a->var1 = 5;
$a->var2 = 'foo';
eval('$b = ' . var_representation($a) . ';'); // $b = \A::__set_state([
// 'var1' => 5,
// 'var2' => 'foo',
// ]);
var_dump($b);
?>上の例の出力は以下となります。
object(A)#2 (2) {
["var1"]=>
int(5)
["var2"]=>
string(3) "foo"
}
