Incorrect type of vars dumped

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello, I'm using FirePHP with ZendFramework in a smarty-like console for
dumping all variables assigned to the view, so I just dump them in a table.

The problem is that objects or null values are dumped as 'array'.

As an example, I have an object $role, with properties parent and parentId
set to NULL:

object(stdClass)#100 (5) {
  ["roleId"] => int(1)
  ["parentId"] => NULL
  ["parent"] => NULL
  ["role"] => string(5) "Admin"
  ["privileges"] => array(1) {
    [1] => string(3) "all"
  }
}

When I dump it in FirePHP, it looks like this:

array(
 ['roleId']   => 1
 ['parentId'] => array()
 ['parent']   => array()
 ['role']     => 'Admin'
 ['privileges'] => array(
   [1] => 'all'
 )
)

$role is not an array, and there are NULL properties markd as empty arrays.

What I'd like to see is basically the same as in a print_r. Something like
this:

stdClass(
 ['roleId']   => 1
 ['parentId'] => NULL
 ['parent']   => NULL
 ['role']     => 'Admin'
 ['privileges'] => array(
   [1] => 'all'
 )
)

I'm using the latest release (0.1.0.3) in fireox 3.0.1 with the latest firebug.

(FirePHP is now involved in all my projects, I think it's just great.
Congrats Cristoph!!!)

Great to hear you find FirePHP useful.

The problem with the variable typing is that the Zend_Json component as well as 
the
current FirePHPCore.class.php implementation discard the type information when 
the
data is re-formatted into a JSON string.

I need to provide my own JSON encoder that adds additional typing info which I 
have
not done yet as I was trying to re-use what ZF already provides.

I'll put this high up on the priority list as it is obviously something that 
needs to
be addressed.

Thanks for your feedback!
