Reverse print\_r
================

[](#reverse-print_r)

This library provides six different handlers for reversing output of PHP's `print_r` function back to original variables. If there's no handler available for a type it's returned as `string`.

Assumptions
-----------

[](#assumptions)

- all values should be type-casted, not returned as `string`
- empty string (`""`) is treated as `null` (see `NullHandler`)
- integers are treated as integers (no `boolean` support)
- multi-level `array` MUST be supported with type-casting
- `public`, `protected` and `private` properties of Objects MUST be supported with type-casting

Known issues
------------

[](#known-issues)

- no support for Object Inheritance

============
