This is something XDebug does, not PHP. I'd suggest reporting it on the
XDebug issue tracker.

Description:
------------
Simple as that... after var_dump() decides "enough is enough", it just
arbitrarily 
cuts off the rest of the value with ellipses.

Seriously annoying when trying to debug a script (the only time I use
var_dump - 
what other purpose does it serve in production?)... it produces a nice
HTML 
output, but 

Test script:
---------------
$test = array('foo');
$test['foo'] = array('bar');
$test['foo']['this'] = array('that');
$test['foo']['this']['where'] = array('there');
$test['foo']['this']['where']['your'] =
array('face');
$test['foo']['this']['where']['your']['mom'] =
array('fat');

var_dump($test);

Expected result:
----------------
<pre class='xdebug-var-dump' dir='ltr'>
<b>array</b>
  0 <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> <small>string</small>
<font 
color='#cc0000'>'foo'</font> <i>(length=3)</i>
  'foo' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> 
    <b>array</b>
      0 <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font>
<small>string</small> <font 
color='#cc0000'>'bar'</font> <i>(length=3)</i>
      'this' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> 
        <b>array</b>
          0 <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font>
<small>string</small>
<font 
color='#cc0000'>'that'</font> <i>(length=4)</i>
          'where' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> 
            <b>array</b>
              0 <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font>
<small>string</small>
<font 
color='#cc0000'>'there'</font> <i>(length=5)</i>
              'your' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> 
                <b>array</b>
                  0 <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font>
<small>string</small> 
<font color='#cc0000'>'face'</font> <i>(length=4)</i>
                  'mom' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> 
                    <b>array</b>
                      0 <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font>
<small>string</small> 
<font color='#cc0000'>'fat'</font> <i>(length=3)</i>
</pre>

Actual result:
--------------
<pre class='xdebug-var-dump' dir='ltr'>
<b>array</b>
  0 <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> <small>string</small>
<font 
color='#cc0000'>'foo'</font> <i>(length=3)</i>
  'foo' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> 
    <b>array</b>
      0 <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font>
<small>string</small> <font 
color='#cc0000'>'bar'</font> <i>(length=3)</i>
      'this' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> 
        <b>array</b>
          0 <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font>
<small>string</small>
<font 
color='#cc0000'>'that'</font> <i>(length=4)</i>
          'where' <font color='#888a85'>=&gt;</font> 
            <b>array</b>
              ...
</pre>
