note 104580 added to function.var-dump

I wrote this dandy little function for using var_dump() on HTML documents so I don't have to view the source. <?php function htmldump($variable, $height="9em") { echo "<pre style=\"border: 1px solid #000; height: {$height}; overflow: auto; margin: 0.5em;\">"; var_dump($variable); echo "</pre>\n"; } ?> You can pass arguments like this: <?php $sql = mysql_query("SELECT id, name, value FROM table WHERE cond = 'value'"); $s = mysql_fetch_assoc($sql); // Dump variable containing the result of the MySQL query var_dump($s); ?> The second parameter lets you specify the height of the box. Default is 9em, but if you're expecting a huge output you'll probably want a higher value. <?php var_dump($s, "17em"); ?> Happy var_dumping. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 132.170.36.136 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.var-dump.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/104580 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104580/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104580/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104580/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104580/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104580/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104580/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/104580 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/104580 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
