[php-maint] Bug#463255: php5: Reflection object fails to recognise runtime class properties as public

[mark.2391 at blueyonder.co.uk]

Package: php5
Version: 5.2.0-8+etch10
Severity: important

According to a friend, the code below works correctly on PHP 5.2.3 but in the current Debian stable distribuion it fails to produce the right result. Note that the 
myRuntimeProperty is absent from the second var_dump at the end.

<?php

class Test
{
    public $myDeclaredProperty = 1;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->myRuntimeProperty = 2;
    }

    public function getPublicProperties()
    {
        $r = new ReflectionObject($this);
        $properties = $r->getProperties();
        $publicProperties = array();
        foreach ($properties as $property) {
            if ($property->isPublic()) {
                $publicProperties[$property->getName()] = 
$property->getValue($this);
            }
        }
        return $publicProperties;
    }
}
echo 'Running ' . phpversion() . "\n";
$obj = new Test();
echo "Dumping object:\n";
var_dump($obj);
echo "Dumping public properties according to Reflection object\n";
var_dump($obj->getPublicProperties());


My output:

Running 5.2.0-8+etch10
Dumping object:
object(Test)#1 (2) {
  ["myDeclaredProperty"]=>
  int(1)
  ["myRuntimeProperty"]=>
  int(2)
}
Dumping public properties according to Reflection object
array(1) {
  ["myDeclaredProperty"]=>
  int(1)
}
