## #6937 — Pierre-Alain Joye — 2004-01-09T17:53:05+00:00

Hello,

What is the difference between a call to get_properties from a dump
function (print_r,var_dump) and from a foreach?

I got a weird behiavor using it with my date extension.

The dumps work nicely as the foreach loops on the 1st property,
endlessly.

Implemention available in /pecl/date/date.c function date_properties_get
(http://cvs.php.net/co.php/pecl/date/date.c?login=2&r=1.6)

Any thought?
