I don't like print_r and most of the time I use var_dump() . Today I tried to print_r() $GLOBALS but not within a function and print_r() was smart to say that there is a recursion without diving in. var_dump() is diving up, up to some max level and produces E_WARNING. Is this the supposed behaviour? Isn't it better var_dump() to detect recursion like print_r() does? Best regards, Andrey Hristov
