php get_object_vars() cant access private properties in child object

class test
{

    private $foo;
    protected $bar;

    public function toarray()
    {
    return get_object_var($this);
    }


    class inheritedTest extends test
    {
    private $baz;
    protected $baf;
    }



    $test=new Test();
    test->toarray(); //does acccess private, protected

    $itest= new inhertiedTest();
    $itest->toArray(); // does access protected but not private

if i override toArray() and call parent toArray() it works ok. It seems like get_object_var() works on declare context. In this case Test properties are visible. what is happening? how to make it work without overriding toArray()?

Quoting from the manual:

Gets the accessible non-static properties of the given object according to scope.

(my emphasis)

If you really need access to private vars in a parent class, you'll need to use reflection

EDIT

An alternative to edit would be to override toArray() in your child class, and call the parent toArray() through that.
