note 45002 added to function.print-r

I noticed that a lot of the examples below seem to make heavy use of recursion and other fancy features, without going for the easy solution. There's no need to use recursion, when print_r() already does 99% of the job! Here is my version of print_r(), with HTML entities escaped and the same format as the normal print_r(). <?php /** * printr * ------ * Function to produce the output of print_r() but in HTML * form. */ function printr ( $var, $do_not_echo = false ) { ob_start(); print_r($var); $code = htmlentities(ob_get_contents()); ob_clean(); if ( !$do_not_echo ) { echo "<pre>$code</pre>"; } return $code; } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.print-r.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+45002 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+45002&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+45002&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
