You should be using var_export or serialize for this:

sean[@]sarcasm:~$ php -r 'class Foo { private $bar = "mwahahaha"; } $Foo =
new Foo(); echo serialize($Foo) ."\n"; var_export($Foo); echo "\n";'
O:3:"Foo":1:{s:8:"Foobar";s:9:"mwahahaha";}
Foo::__set_state(array(
   'bar' => 'mwahahaha',
))

Better yet: http://php.net/reflection
