### `get_class_vars` example

    <?php

    class MyClass
    {
        public $var1; // This has no explicit default value (technically it has NULL as a default)...
        public $var2 = "xyz";
        public $var3 = 100;
        private $var4;

        public function __construct()
        {
            // Change some properties
            $this->var1 = "foo";
            $this->var2 = "bar";
            return true;
        }
    }

    $my_class = new MyClass();

    $class_vars = get_class_vars(get_class($my_class));

    foreach ($class_vars as $name => $value) {
        echo "{$name}: ", var_export($value, true), "\n";
    }

    ?>

&example.outputs;

    var1: NULL
    var2: 'xyz'
    var3: 100

### `get_class_vars` and scoping behaviour

    <?php

    function format($array)
    {
        return implode('|', array_keys($array)) . "\r\n";
    }

    class TestCase
    {
        public $a    = 1;
        protected $b = 2;
        private $c   = 3;

        public static function expose()
        {
            echo format(get_class_vars(__CLASS__));
        }
    }

    TestCase::expose();
    echo format(get_class_vars('TestCase'));

    ?>

&example.outputs;

    // 5.0.0
    a| * b| TestCase c
    a| * b| TestCase c

    // 5.0.1 - 5.0.2
    a|b|c
    a|b|c

    // 5.0.3 +
    a|b|c
    a
