I would change the above the the following:
if ( empty($pmatch) || ( strpos($key, $pmatch) === 0 ) ) {
print "$key = $value";
}
it would be slightly faster
love the "skin the cat" game!
What I like about this Jim is that the strpos() could be changed to
allow a "contains" argument rather than a "begins with" argument...
for example if you wanted to find all variable names containing 'foo'.
Something like:
if ( empty($pmatch) || (( strpos($tkey, $pmatch) === 0 ) || (
strpos($tkey, $pmatch) > 0 ))) {
print "$key = $value";
}
t_foo
foo_t
t_foo_t
would all be found.
Thanks!

I have an init file that I include in every site that contains a few
routines I use over and over. One such is:
function instrument($legend, $var)
{
print $legend . "\n";;
print "\n";
print_r($var);
print "\n";
}
I use this routine wherever I want to see what's going on. It formats
(particularly) array output so that I can read it, instead of having
everything look like JSON, which is much harder to read.
Feel free to use the above yourself as needed.

Re: [PHP] Variable Troubleshooting Code
Hi,
some pretty natives php functions exists to do the job :
var_export — Outputs or returns a parsable string representation of a variable
debug_zval_dump — Dumps a string representation of an internal zend value to
output
var_dump — Dumps information about a variable
print_r — Prints human-readable information about a variable
echo '';
print_r( array | object );
echo '';
Regards.

[PHP] Variable Troubleshooting Code
Hello!,
I work in another language mostly and often develop while displaying
variables (post,get,and defined) and their values at the bottom of the
page or in specific places. So, I thought I'd forward my PHP version as
an effort of good Karma to the list perhaps! ;-)
Below is 2 simple functions that are helpful for troubleshooting while
developing. Just place this code into a .php file and require it at the
top of any PHP page. Then, at the bottom of the page, or in a specific
(more pertinent) location, call the functions with something like this:
Testing:';
print htmlentities(list_formvars());
print htmlentities(list_vars(get_defined_vars()));
print '';
?>
-
Optionally, you can call only specific naming conventions of your
variables (if you use them).. ie:
print htmlentities(list_vars(get_defined_vars(),'t_'));
The above will display all defined vars such as:
t_name=
t_city=
t_address=
etc..
Code:
---
/*
FUNCTION NAME: list_formvars
INPUT: optional var
OUTPUT: =
=
USE: For troubleshooting code
Example Use:
list_formvars();
list_formvars('f_a');
*/function list_formvars($pmatch = null) {
print "'get' Vars:";
foreach ($_GET as $key => $value) {
if (isset($pmatch)) {
if (substr($key,0,strlen($pmatch)) == $pmatch) {
print "$key = $value";
}
} else {
print "$key = $value";
}
}
print "'post' Vars:";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
if (isset($pmatch)) {
if (substr($key,0,strlen($pmatch)) == $pmatch) {
print "$key = $value";
}
} else {
print "$key = $value";
}
}
}/*
FUNCTION NAME: list_vars
INPUT: get_defined_vars(), match
OUTPUT: =
=
USE: For troubleshooting code
Example Use:
list_vars(get_defined_vars());
list_vars(get_defined_vars(),'t_');
*/function list_vars($a_vars,$pmatch = null) {
print "'defined' Vars:";
foreach ($a_vars as $key => $value) {
if (isset($pmatch)) {
if (substr($key,0,strlen($pmatch)) == $pmatch) {
print "$key = $value";
}
} else {
print "$key = $value";
}
}
}
Cheers,
Donovan
