[PHP-DEV] [PATCH] Make var_export() output "(object)array(..." instead of "stdClass::__set_state(..." for stdClass

[Andrea Faulds]

Hi everyone,

Since stdClass has no __set_state method, var_export() produces unusable 
output if given an object of that class. I wrote a patch that would make 
var_export() produce a cast to object instead, which could be evaluated 
to get back a stdClass:

https://github.com/php/php-src/pull/2420

Any thoughts/comments?

If you're wondering about whether a __set_state method should be added 
to stdClass, I posted some thoughts in the pull request discussion already.

Thanks!
