In all other functions in this class expect _formatTableHTML the variable itself is concatenated to other strings the type is automagically typecasted to a string.

Fixing this in function _formatTableHTML is easy:

old: htmlspecialchars($array[VAR_DUMP_ARRAY_VALUE])
new: htmlspecialchars((string) $array[VAR_DUMP_ARRAY_VALUE])

simply typecast yourself and everything works fine.

If you want to do it the elegant way you could test if
$array[VAR_DUMP_ARRAY_VALUE] is_object and in that case do a get_class($array[VAR_DUMP_ARRAY_VALUE]). But since this is done automatically by PHP and it's handled the same way (auto-type-conversion) in other parts of this class, too, simply typecasting to string seems to work fine.
