Re: Function proposal

Hmm, it's no GOTO, but oddly enough we have virtually exactly the same function and use it everywhere too. The only differences are we call ours pre_r() and we add the following check against php_sapi_name() so that the function behaves sanely when called from the cli: function pre_r($mixed, $return) { if ( php_sapi_name() == "cli" ) { if ( $return ) return print_r($mixed, true); print_r($mixed); } else { if ( $return ) return "<pre>" . print_r($mixed, true) . "</pre>"; echo "<pre>"; print_r($mixed); echo "</pre>"; } } While I don't know if it *needs* to be in the core, if it were I'd certainly use it. My $0.02, Benj Carson
