How to avoid typing <pre class = "prettyprint-override"> when viewing arrays ... any ideas?

Question

I often have to browse data in arrays and use the html tag <pre>for this. However, it becomes tedious and disappointing to introduce the same thing every time.

My question is, what is your technique for preventing this annoyance of programming with PHP?

Answer 1

It's funny that you should ask about it, I just wrote a short function to save me from the pain associated with this.

function pre($option = "open"){                   
  if (is_object($option) || is_array($option)):
    print "<pre>";
    print_r($option);
    print "</pre>";
  else:
    $option=="open"?print "<pre>": print "</pre>";
  endif;
}

:.

pre($result); //prints in pre tags

pre(); //just prints <pre>
print "hello";
pre(1); //just prints </pre>

Answer 2

, <pre>. :

function pretty_print(array $array){
  echo '<pre>';
  print_r($array);
  echo '</pre>';
}

print_r pretty_print. <pre> :)

Answer 3

XDebug. , print_r var_dump ( ), .

Answer 4

function pre_($array)
{
  echo '<pre>' . print_r( $array, true ) . '</pre>';
}

Answer 5

- . , .

function html_var_dump($obj)
{
   ob_start();
   var_dump($obj);
   $output = htmlentities(ob_get_contents());
   ob_end_clean();
   echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
}

You can use print_r instead of var_dump if you want.

Answer 6

I use this

function d($obj)
{
   ob_start();
   print_r($obj);
   $output = htmlspecialchars(ob_get_clean());
   echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
}

Answer 7

I am changing the default_mimetype(default text/html) php.ini parameter to text/plain.

Answer 8

One of my favorite tricks if printing an array is all I do:

header('Content-type: text/plain');
print_r($arr);
