serializing a model with an association

[Hodor9898]

trying to serialize a model with using the include option will not trigger the associated model`s to_array() function

for example

class User extends ActiveRecord\Model {
    static $belongs_to = array('owner');
    
    function to_array(array $options = array()) {
        $arr = parent::to_array($options);
        $arr['custom_user_attribute'] = 'This value will be added';
        
        return $arr;
    }
}

class Owner extends ActiveRecord\Model {
    function to_array(array $options = array()) {
        $arr = parent::to_array($options);
        $arr['custom_owner_attribute'] = 'This value will not be displayed';
        
        return $arr;
    }
}


$user = User::find(1);
$user->to_array(array(
    'include' => array(
        'owner'
    )
));

i solved this by either manually using the associated models **to_array()** function or updating the **Serialization.php** files check_include() function:

	private function check_include()
	{
		if (isset($this->options['include']))
		{
			$this->options_to_a('include');

			$serializer_class = get_class($this);

			foreach ($this->options['include'] as $association => $options)
			{
				if (!is_array($options))
				{
					$association = $options;
					$options = array();
				}

				try {
					$assoc = $this->model->$association;

					if ($assoc === null)
					{
						$this->attributes[$association] = null;
					}
					elseif (!is_array($assoc))
					{
						$this->attributes[$association] = $assoc->to_array($options);
					}
					else
					{
						$includes = array();

						foreach ($assoc as $a)
						{

							if ($this->includes_with_class_name_element)
								$includes[strtolower(get_class($a))][] = $a->to_array($options);
							else
								$includes[] = $a->to_array($options);
						}

						$this->attributes[$association] = $includes;
					}

				} catch (UndefinedPropertyException $e) {
					;//move along
				}
			}
		}
	}
