Description:
------------
var_export() incorrectly escapes char(0) in strings. It returns '\000' in single quotes, therefore then this string can not be imported correctly.


Reproduce code:
---------------
eval('echo '.var_export("\0",true).';');

Expected result:
----------------
// chr(0)

Actual result:
--------------
\000
