note 74768 added to function.print-r

We can all agree that print_r() output is very spartan looking. The debug data needs to be organized better, and presented in a graceful way. In the era of Web 2.0 it is somewhat strange to use plain text to dump information. A DHTML powered informatiion dumping tool will be quite better - like the the open-source alternative of print_r(); -- Krumo (http://krumo.sourceforge.net). It renders the output using DHTML and collapsible nodes, it's layout is "skinable" and you can change it to fit your aesthetic taste. Krumo makes the output "human-readable" for real :) Plus it is compliant with both PHP4 and PHP5. Plus it detects "reference recursion". Plus you can use it to dump all various sort of data like debug back-traces, the superglobals ($_SERVER, $_ENV, $_REQUEST, $_COOKIE, $_GET, $_POST, $_SESSION), all the included files, all the declared classes, all the declared constants, all your PHP settings, all your php.ini values (if it is readable), all the loaded extensions, all the HTTP request headers, all the declared interfaces (for PHP5), all the file paths from INCLUDE_PATH, all the values of any particular INI file. Additionally it is designed to be easy to use - for example you can disable all the Krumo dumps instead of cleaning your code out of all print_r()'s and var_dump()'s. Anyway, if you check the site (http://krumo.sourceforge.net), you can found a lot of examples, demonstrations, documentation and all sort of helpful information. ---- Server IP: 217.75.128.29 Probable Submitter: 87.126.122.87 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.print-r.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/74768 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74768/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74768/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74768/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74768/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74768/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74768/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/74768 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/74768 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
