This is a problem I run into all the time, I am curious of how many
people have run into this. I've been considering writting a patch
for php that will enable an option to htmlentity the strings. The
alternative would be to write a function that loops through all the
results:
function my_print_r($var) {
$r = print_r($var, true);
foreach($var as $key => $val) {
if (is_string($val) ) {
$val = htmlentities($val);
} elseif (is_array($val) {
$val = my_print_r($val);
}
$r[$key] = $val;
}
return $r;
}
Since print_r is usually used for debugging, it would be nice that
php does this for you. Any comments on this before i throw the
idea to the php-dev list?
