Array to Object and Object to Array in PHP - interesting behaviour

Question

Can you explain the next interesting behaviour?

class test {
  //Class *test* has two properties, public and private.
  public $xpublic = \'x1\';
  private $         


        

Answer 1

Probably the PHP engine conserves the class structure internaly and simply gives some kind of an array wrapper, and thus when you cast it again it remains private, though I can't assure this at 100%.
