An (old) PHP library to dump variables in a readable format

X-Dump

A little PHP library I wrote many years ago that dumps PHP variables in a readable/contractible format.

I'll keep it here for my own use. I won't be developed further because nowadays there's much better stuff around and also because I lost all my unit-tests :(

Project URL: https://github.com/tacone/xdump/

Features

• Dumps data in a expandable/contractible format
• Recursion checks
• Tries to minimize the HTML size impact
• Shows source code around the dump invocation
• Optional description
• Backtrace dumping, with source code, params et all
• OOP, should be easy to extend
• Works on old PHP versions, even on PHP 4.

Use

Use it like this:

require('xdump.php');

//single dump
echo xdump::dump($_SERVER);
echo xdump::dump($_SERVER, "The $_SERVER contents"); //with description

//multiple dump
echo xdump::mdump($var1, $var2, $var3);

//debug backtrace
echo xdump::backtrace();
