The output can be difficult to decipher when looking at an array with many levels and many elements
on each level. For example:
<?php
print ('$bigarray = ' . var_export($bigarray, true) . "\n");
?>
will return:
$bigarray = array(
... (500 lines skipped) ...
'mod' => 'charlie',
Whereas the routine below can be called with:
<?php
recursive_print ('$bigarray', $bigarray);
?>
and it will return:
$bigarray['firstelement'] = 'something'
... (500 lines skipped) ...
$bigarray['foo']['bar']['0']['somethingelse']['mod']
= 'charlie'
Here's the function:
<?php
function recursive_print ($varname, $varval) {
if (! is_array($varval)):
print $varname . ' = ' . $varval . "<br>\n";
else:
foreach ($varval as $key => $val):
recursive_print ($varname . "['" . $key . "']", $val);
endforeach;
endif;
}
?>
