iterate public memebers of a class

[Geates]

Short of renaming the public members, is there a way to iterate only public members of a class.

Something like

class aClass
{
   private A
   private B
   public C
   public D

   function iteratePublic()
   {
      foreach($this as $key = $val)
         if (isPublic($key))
            print $key." is public";
   }
}

output:
C is public
D is public

here is one way of doing it (you will also get protected vars)

<?php
class a{
        public function getPublicProperties(){
                foreach($this as $key=>$val):
                        echo $key . "\t" . $val . "\n";
                endforeach;
        }
}

class b extends a{
        public $a = 'foo';
        public $b = 'bar';
        protected $c = 'bing';
        private $d = 'bong';

}

$a = new b;
$a->getPublicProperties();
?>

or you could use a reflection object.
