I always find really hard-not-so-friendly to read var_dump. So a while ago I found an alternative to display content with a coloured syntax.
I have to say that I didn’t code this and I don’t know the source. Here we go:
function dump($in = null) { echo ''; foreach ( func_get_args() as $var ) { echo "\n"; if ( is_string($var) ) { echo "$var\n"; } else { var_dump($var); } } echo ' pre>'."\n"; return $in; } # dump()Remove the space on the final 🙂
