Hi,
I have to add dash to the REGEX because Oracle PHP driver returns name with dash in it:

  array (
    'ptip_sif' => '4',
    'pptip_opis' => 
    OCI-Lob::__set_state(array(
       'descriptor' => NULL,
    )),
  ),

Instead of:

$dump = preg_replace('/[a-zA-Z_]+::__set_state/', '', $dump);

... here is REGEX that contains dash "\-"

$dump = preg_replace('/[a-zA-Z_\-]+::__set_state/', '', $dump);

Regards,
Darko
