Description:
------------
Would love to see a __toArray() MM added that would default to an associative array of an object's properties in scope, but that could be overloaded with whatever.  It would be very useful in cases where a specific method is required to iterate through an object's properties.  Thanks! :)

What's wrong with the Iterator and IteratorAggregate interfaces?

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

There is also iterator_to_array().
