Return data from anonymous class variables

I'm looking for a way to achieve the results below. I'm constricted to using this class and it's methods to achieve it.

final class Trade {

    private $users_id;
    private $adj_id;

    public function display() {
        var_dump($this);    
    }

    public function setData($form_results) {
        foreach ($form_results as $var => $value) {
            $this->{$var} = $value;
        }
    }

    public function getData() {
        return get_object_vars($this);
    }
}

The problem is calling get_object_vars() inside the class method. As expected it ignores the private variables I have set and returns an array of all the class variables both public and private due to its scope.

I'm trying to have the method return just the public anonymous variables. Is there a way I can do this?

Why not just save all the data to some private variable and return that?

If your object must have the data as it's properties, you can use __get and __set to read and set items in that array, and on outside it will look as though they were properties.

Try to use

   foreach($this as $key => $value) {
       print "$key => $value\n";
   }

See details on http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.iterations.php
