Note Submitter: php_getclassvars_27112009 at uchange dot co dot uk ---- Similar to gizmobits at hotmail dot com I needed a simple Dump() / ToString() function which I could include into any class and display a list of all member variables and their values. My solution is as follows. Note that the default separator is a newline, though you can specify your own (i.e. <br/>) by specifying it as parameter. This makes it much easier to view the dumped output and use it for debugging - this is one of my pet hates of print_r which always uses \n and requires you to view the page source in order to make the values readable. Note that this function doesn't support array values - though it should be a simple matter to add if(is_array($this->$key)... inside the foreach loop and iterate each array element. function Dump($sep="\n") { $vars = get_class_vars(get_class($this)); foreach($vars as $key=>$val) { printf("%s => %s%s", $key, $this->$key, $sep); } } Hope this helps.
