RE: [PHP] Simple (?) var_dump question

aiaiaia ... you are all pretty right, for another function was forged. var_export has a "return" flag as second argument where print_r and var_dump both have other variables as second (and third, and fourth, and sixth) .. So you can do: $logger->debug(var_export($Var), true)); which will log the var to your log. -> -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- -> Van: Chris Boget [mailto:chris@wild.net] -> Verzonden: vrijdag 12 september 2003 18:34 -> Aan: CPT John W.
