All 3 of get_object_vars, get_class_vars and reflection getDefaultProperties will reveal the name of the array.  For serialization I recommend:



<?php

$cName = get_class($this);

$varTemplate= get_class_vars($cName)

foreach ($varTemplate as $name => $defaultVal) {

  $vars[$name] = $this->$name; // gets actual val.

}

?>



No scan the $vars and create serialization string how you wish.



This protects against erroneous prior deserializing in maintaining the integrity of the class template and ignoring unintended object properties.
