Hello there,
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/function.print-r.php states:
print_r() and var_export() will also show protected and private
properties of objects with PHP 5.


The German translation goes even a bit further and says:
print_r() und var_export() zeigen mit PHP 5 auch private und geschützte
Eigenschaften von Objekten an, im Gegensatz zur Funktion var_dump().
( last sentence =unlike the function var_dump())

http://us3.php.net/manual/de/function.print-r.php

Is this a documentation "bug" (as it implies that var_dump should not
put out all private properties) or is this a bug in var_dump()?

And is there then a method to dump only public properties in PHP5?

Greetings,
Florian
