Note Submitter: Christian Riesen ---- There is a small quirk in it, obviously it first does the var_dump if its in the same line with other commands. Example: <?php $array = array(1,2,3); // Does not work? Shows first the var_dump, then <pre> echo "<pre>" . var_dump($array); // Works perfectly as intended echo "<pre>"; echo var_dump($array); ?> Also, output control is not the best way to catch the output, instead, using $output = var_export($variable,TRUE); fills the $output variable with just the same. See the var_export() documentation for details.
