RE: [PHP] print_r sucks

<? $a = TRUE; echo "<pre>"; print_r($a); echo "\n"; var_dump($a); echo "</pre>"; ?> i get: <pre>1 bool(true) </pre> so it looks like var_dump gives more useful information, but print_r is hardly empty...if you make $a = FALSE, then it returns...hmm, either null string, or undef, or something like that.....so, maybe var_dump's more useful for tests like that, and print_r for other things... jack -----Original Message----- From: Martín Marqués [mailto:martin@bugs.unl.edu.ar] Sent: Friday, October 05, 2001 5:56 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: [PHP] print_r sucks Why is it that if I have a bool variable with true or false (already set) and I do a print_r of that variable it's empty, while var_dump gives me the true or false value?
