<?php
function print_rrr($name, $element, $level){
// Returns $element as if you have to declare it using PHP syntaxis.
if (is_array($element)) {
$res = str_repeat("\t",$level).($level? "\t\"".$name.'" => ':'$'.$name.' =
').'array(';
$counter = 1;
reset($element);
while(list($key, $val) = each($element)){
$res .= "\n".print_rrr($key,$val,$level+1);
$res .= ($counter==count($element)? '':',');
$counter++;
}
$res .= "\n".str_repeat("\t",$level).($level? "\t)":');');
} else {
$res = str_repeat("\t",$level+1).(is_numeric($name)?
$name:"'".addslashes(stripslashes($name))."'").
' => '.(is_numeric($element)?
$element:"'".addslashes(stripslashes($element))."'");
}
return $res;
}
// Usage
$a1 = array(1=>"dd","ff"=>array(1,2,3));
echo print_rrr("a1",$a1,0);
?>
The output is:
$a1 = array(
1 => 'dd',
"ff" => array(
0 => 1,
1 => 2,
2 => 3
)
);
Hope this help someone.
It is useful when in a script you modify an array and have to save changes.
Just preg_replace in the file content with the new definition.
