I always find really hard-not-so-friendly to read var_dump. So a while ago I found an alternative to display content with a coloured syntax.
I have to say that I didn’t code this and I don’t know the source. Here we go:
function dump($in = null) { echo '<pre style=" white-space: pre-wrap; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; padding: 10px; border: solid 5px rgba(50,50,50,.5); background-color: ghostwhite; color: black; text-align: left;">'; foreach ( func_get_args() as $var ) { echo "\n"; if ( is_string($var) ) { echo "$var\n"; } else { var_dump($var); } } echo '</ pre>'."\n"; return $in; } # dump()
Remove the space on the final 🙂
