I didn't see this simple little item anywhere in the user notes. Maybe I'm blind!
Anyway, var_export and print_r both use spaces and carriage returns for formatting. Sent to an html
page, most of the formatting is lost. This simple function prints a nicely formatted array to an
html screen:
<?php
function pretty_var($myArray){
print str_replace(array("\n","
"),array("<br>"," "),
var_export($myArray,true))."<br>";
}
?>
