var_export does not do this, it merely has a different format then var_dump, so that it is correct PHP code. Derick Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-12-09 07:33:44] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Derick just added a new function called var_export which does exactly what you want. It will be in PHP-4.2.0. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2001-06-29 05:54:42] [EMAIL PROTECTED] It would be very nice to have a var_dump() that returns the variable dump as a string instead of printing it. Using var_dump() for verbose logging is mighty handy, but having to (ab)use output buffering to catch the var dump feels bad. (I looked briefly at the implementation of var_dump(), and making a "svar_dump()" seemed out of my C league, unfortunately.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=11798&edit=1 -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
