Alternative to print_r?!

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Apr 17.2012

I am writing a custom debugging function and need to print some objects to the screen.

print_r does exactly what I need except it also shows private and protected members of the object shown. I need to return the string to the browser without them.

Is there an alternative function that does that?
If not then is there a way to remove them? (ive tried using regular expressions but couldn’t do it)

thank you

@NogDogApr 17.2012 — I believe that if you call [url=http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.get-object-vars.php]get_object_vars[/url]() from outside of the object, you get only the public variables.

@paishinauthorApr 17.2012 — you are right! Running it outside the class does not return the private/protected members of the class.

I had already tried this function but it was within the object i was trying to print so I didnt realize it would behave differently outside the class.

thanks once again

Success!
