note 74069 added to function.print-r

We had an interesting problem dumping an object that contained embedded HTML. The application makes use of buffer manipulation functions, so print_r's 2nd argument wasn't helpful. Here is how we solved the problem: $object = new ObjectContainingHTML(); $savedbuffercontents = ob_get_clean(); print_r($object); $print_r_output = ob_get_clean(); ob_start(); echo $savedbuffercontents; echo htmlentities($print_r_output); ---- Server IP: 216.194.113.175 Probable Submitter: 69.105.92.2 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.print-r.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74069 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74069/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74069/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74069/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74069/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74069/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74069/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74069 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74069 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
