RE: [PHP] Easy Object Reading

If you don't want to dump this to the screen but would prefer to have this in a string (to send to a log file etc..) then use the following function: function getStringFromObject($prmAryIn) { // Following code was ripped from http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.var-dump.php // it's very nice indeed!! ob_start(); var_dump($prmAryIn); $output = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); return $output; } -----Original Message----- From: Grant Walters [mailto:Grant.Walters@walters.co.nz] Sent: 20 March 2001 14:08 To: Php-General Cc: Thorsten Viel Subject: RE: [PHP] Easy Object Reading > -----Original Message----- > From: Thorsten Viel [mailto:tviel@hw-interactive.de] > Sent: Wednesday, 21 March 2001 00:59 > To: php-general@lists.php.net > Subject: [PHP] Easy Object Reading > > > Hi, > > does somebody know a function where I can read all variables of an object > independent of there name? > > I have to test with large classes, more than 30 vars per class, and dont > want to implement a function just for testing. > I want to echo all values of vars of a class without specifyieng > explicitly > every single varname. > var_dump(PHP3 >= 3.0.5, PHP4 ) Dumps information about a variable void var_dump (mixed expression) This function returns structured information about an expression that includes its type and value.
