Incidentally, both var_dump() and print_r() output useful information about what's in a variable, but in both cases the output is formatted using regular newlines and spaces, with no HTML layout, so for large arrays such as $GLOBALS it's best to do something like: echo "<pre>"; print_r($GLOBALS); echo "</pre>"; The output from this is actually formatted rather nicely, and is quite easy to read (and can be very informative!).
