get_class_vars — Get the default properties of the class

### Description

get_class_vars(string `$class`): array

Get the default properties of the given class.

### Parameters

`class`

  The class name

### Return Values

Returns an associative array of declared properties visible from the current scope, with their default value. The resulting array elements are in the form of `varname => value`. In case of an error, it returns `false`.

### Examples

Example #1 get_class_vars() example

`<?php
class MyClass
{
public $var1; // This has no explicit default value (technically it has NULL as a default)...
public $var2 = "xyz";
public $var3 = 100;
private $var4;
public function __construct()
{
// Change some properties
$this->var1 = "foo";
$this->var2 = "bar";
return true;
}
}
$my_class = new MyClass();
$class_vars = get_class_vars(get_class($my_class));
foreach ($class_vars as $name => $value) {
echo "{$name}: ", var_export($value, true), "\n";
}
?>`

The above example will output:

    var1: NULL
    var2: 'xyz'
    var3: 100

Example #2 get_class_vars() and scoping behaviour

`<?php
function format($array)
{
return implode('|', array_keys($array)) . "\r\n";
}
class TestCase
{
public $a = 1;
protected $b = 2;
private $c = 3;
public static function expose()
{
echo format(get_class_vars(__CLASS__));
}
}
TestCase::expose();
echo format(get_class_vars('TestCase'));
?>`

The above example will output:

    // 5.0.0
    a| * b| TestCase c
    a| * b| TestCase c

    // 5.0.1 - 5.0.2
    a|b|c
    a|b|c

    // 5.0.3 +
    a|b|c
    a
