bad type specifier while parsing parameters

Hello Sebastian,

fixed in cvs - and btw it took me 5 seconds to fix - i bet you could have
done it yourself :-)

The code below (which is based on Derick's code [1]) used to work until
recently:

<?php
class ClassWithNonPublicProperties {
    protected $protectedProperty = 'foo';
    private $privateProperty = 'bar';
}

function getNonPublicProperty($object, $propertyName) {
    try {
        $class = new ReflectionClass($object);

        if ($class->hasProperty($propertyName)) {
            $property = $class->getProperty($propertyName);

            if (!$property->isPublic()) {
                if ($property->isProtected()) {
                    $propertyName = "\0*\0" . $propertyName;
                } else {
                    $propertyName = sprintf(
                      "\0%s\0%s",

                      get_class($object),
                      $propertyName
                    );
                }

                $tmp = (array) $object;

                return $tmp[$propertyName];
            } else {
                return $object->$propertyName;
            }
        } else {
            throw new InvalidArgumentException;
        }
    }

    catch (ReflectionException $e) {
        throw new InvalidArgumentException;
    }
}

$object = new ClassWithNonPublicProperties;

print getNonPublicProperty($object, 'protectedProperty') . "\n";
print getNonPublicProperty($object, 'privateProperty') . "\n";
?>

The current PHP_5_1 prints

Warning: ReflectionClass::getProperty():
bad type specifier while parsing parameters in test.php on line 12

Fatal error: Call to a member function isPublic() on a non-object
in test.php on line 14

Is this change in behaviour intentional or should I file a bug report
for this?
