note 75327 added to function.var-export

Like previously reported, i find var_export() frustrating when dealing with recursive structures. Doing a : <?php var_export($GLOBALS); ?> fails. Interestingly, var_dump() has some logic to avoid recursive references. So : <?php var_dump($GLOBALS); ?> works (while being more ugly). Unlike var_export(), var_dump() has no option to return the string, so output buffering logic is required if you want to direct the output. ---- Server IP: 69.39.81.135 Probable Submitter: 68.122.42.152 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.var-export.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/75327 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75327/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75327/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75327/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75327/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75327/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75327/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/75327 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/75327 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
