ok....let the shooting begin :)
the xdebug extension has very nice html-ized var_dump(). Use that on your devel machine and you'll never need your print_pre again. Otherwise I find it easier to simply do this:
<?php
echo '<pre>';
var_dump($blah);
echo '</pre>';
?>
than to write a function and make sure it is always there.
Alternately, view source from your browser works great for grabbing var_dump()/print_r() output.
