The documentation says that the get_class_vars() method should return
an array only with the properties wich had DEFAULT values already at
class definition. That worked fine with PHP 4.1.2 but it's behavior
changed with PHP 4.2.[0 or 1] because it displays also those properties
which has no default values at definition. I don't really think that
this is a bug, but it seems that there was a change in the function
behavior and neither the changelog nor the documentation mentions a
word about this change.

Example - the following script from the docs:

<?php

class myclass {

    var $var1; // this has no default value...
    var $var2 = "xyz";
    var $var3 = 100;
    
    // constructor
    function myclass() {
        return(true);
    }

}

$my_class = new myclass();

$class_vars = get_class_vars(get_class($my_class));
echo "<pre>";
foreach ($class_vars as $name => $value) {
    echo "$name : $value\n";
}
echo "</pre>";

?>

should outuput something like this:
var2 : xyz
var3 : 100

but the result in PHP 4.2.1 is:
var1 :
var2 : xyz
var3 : 100
