Bug description: Private members accessible to print_r
Description:
------------
Private variables are accessible to the print_r function outside of the
object. Even if one cannot access the variable directly, one could easily
parse the output of print_r to grab private data from an object.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
class Example {
private $secret = "My secret";
public $notsecret = "Not my secret";
}
$ex = new Example;
$x = print_r ($ex, true);
print $x;
?>
Expected result:
----------------
I expected the private members to be invisible or replaced with something
to indicate the lack of access such as <Private>.
Actual result:
--------------
Example Object
(
[secret:private] => My secret
[notsecret] => Not my secret
)
Private variables are displayed and data is stored in the string variable
$x which one could easily parse to get the value of secret:private.
