Bug description: var_dump() treats recursive references differently for objects and
arrays
Description:
------------
var_dump() treats objects and arrays differently when they
contain references to themselves.
Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
class a {
}
$a = new a();
$a->foo =& $a;
var_dump($a);
$b = array();
$b[1] =& $b;
var_dump($b);
?>
Expected result:
----------------
object(a)(1) {
["foo"]=>
&object(a)(1) {
["foo"]=>
*RECURSION*
}
}
array(1) {
[1]=>
&array(1) {
[1]=>
*RECURSION*
}
}
Actual result:
--------------
object(a)(1) {
["foo"]=>
&object(a)(1) {
["foo"]=>
&object(a)(1) {
["foo"]=>
*RECURSION*
}
}
}
array(1) {
[1]=>
array(1) {
[1]=>
*RECURSION*
}
}
