# print_r

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

print_r -- Prints human-readable information about a variable

## Description

bool print_r ( mixed expression [, bool return] )

> Замечание: The `return` parameter was added in PHP 4.3.0

print_r() displays information about a variable in a way that's readable by humans. If given a string, integer or float, the value itself will be printed. If given an array, values will be presented in a format that shows keys and elements. Similar notation is used for objects. print_r(), var_dump() and var_export() will also show protected and private properties of objects with PHP 5.

Remember that print_r() will move the array pointer to the end. Use reset() to bring it back to beginning.

`<pre>
<?php
$a = array ('a' => 'apple', 'b' => 'banana', 'c' => array ('x', 'y', 'z'));
print_r ($a);
?>
</pre>`

Результат выполнения данного примера:

    <pre>
    Array
    (
        [a] => apple
        [b] => banana
        [c] => Array
            (
                [0] => x
                [1] => y
                [2] => z
            )
    )
    </pre>

If you would like to capture the output of print_r(), use the `return` parameter. If this parameter is set to `TRUE`, print_r() will return its output, instead of printing it (which it does by default).

> Замечание: This function internally uses the output buffering with this parameter so it can not be used inside ob_start() callback function.

Пример 1. `return` parameter example

`<?php $b = array ('m' => 'monkey', 'foo' => 'bar', 'x' => array ('x', 'y', 'z')); $results = print_r($b, true); //$results now contains output from print_r ?>`

> Замечание: If you need to capture the output of print_r() with a version of PHP prior to 4.3.0, use the output-control functions.

> Замечание: Prior to PHP 4.0.4, print_r() will continue forever if given an array or object that contains a direct or indirect reference to itself. An example is `print_r($GLOBALS)` because `$GLOBALS` is itself a global variable that contains a reference to itself.

See also ob_start(), var_dump() and var_export().

`None of the function to output to HTML was working for me so I had to write something that suited my needs. It's probably super not efficient but, hey it works well for me on a small scale.
function print_r_html($data,$return_data=false)
{
$data = print_r($data,true);
$data = str_replace( " ","&nbsp;", $data);
$data = str_replace( "\r\n","<br>\r\n", $data);
$data = str_replace( "\r","<br>\r", $data);
$data = str_replace( "\n","<br>\n", $data);
if (!$return_data)
echo $data;
else
return $data;
}
Simple, isn't? :)`

`For those of you needing to print an array within a buffer callback function, I've created this quick function. It simply returns the array as a readable string rather than printing it. You can even choose whether to return it in normal text-mode or HTML. It's recursive, so multi-dimensial arrays are supported. I hope someone finds this useful!
<?php
function return_array($array, $html = false, $level = 0) {
$space = $html ? "&nbsp;" : " ";
$newline = $html ? "<br />" : "\n";
for ($i = 1; $i <= 6; $i++) {
$spaces .= $space;
}
$tabs = $spaces;
for ($i = 1; $i <= $level; $i++) {
$tabs .= $spaces;
}
$output = "Array" . $newline . $newline;
foreach($array as $key => $value) {
if (is_array($value)) {
$level++;
$value = return_array($value, $html, $level);
$level--;
}
$output .= $tabs . "[" . $key . "] => " . $value . $newline;
}
return $output;
}

`Going along with what SaWey @ localdomain said, if you want some decent output, you might want to write a small function that looks like this:
spit( $your_crud )
{
echo "<pre>\n";
print_r( $your_crud );
echo "\n</pre><br />\n";
}
It's marginally easier to type out than print_r, but more importantly, you get a better output. Plus, spit look cooler.`

`i've been using a similar idea like Sawey's for quite a long time,
but was always disappointed that you don't see the name of the
variable passed to the function (eg calling it many times, you don't
know which value was provided by a certain variable at a certain time).
so i combined sawey's idea with one found on php.net to solve that problem.
for shellscripting the function only uses <pre>-tags when called in the web.

`Explanation:
The problem with figuring out what value is what key in that variables scope is that several variables might have the same value. To remedy this, the variable is passed by reference and its value is then modified to a random value to make sure there will be a unique match. Then we loop through the scope ( semi recursively ) the variable is contained in and when there is a match of our modified value, we can grab the correct key and output the name.
Bugs:
You can see in the 5th Example, that the so-called non-existant variable infact exists ;|, the problem with referenced variables (as used in the my_r function) is, that they have to exist at call-time to reference them. that is why my_r("test") will result in a fatal error. if you have ideas to solve that, don't hesitate to mention them.
Examples:
1. Use of a variable contained in the global scope (default):
<?php
$my_global_variable = array("nice", "try", "guybrush");
my_r($my_global_variable);
/* Outputs:
$my_global_variable: Array
(
[0] => nice
[1] => try
[2] => guybrush
)
*/
?>
2. Use of a local variable (in a function):
<?php
function my_local_function()
{
$my_local_variable = array("nice", "try", "guybrush");
my_r($my_local_variable,get_defined_vars());
}
my_local_function();
/* Outputs:
$my_local_variable: Array
(
[0] => nice
[1] => try
[2] => guybrush
)
*/
?>
3. Use of an object property:
<?php
class myclass{
public function __constructor(){ // depending on php version ;)
$this->my_object_property = array("nice", "try", name => array("guybrush"));
}
public function myclass(){ // depending on php version ;)
$this->my_object_property = array("nice", "try", name => array("guybrush"));
}
}
$obj = new myclass;
my_r($obj->my_object_property);
/* Outputs:
$obj->my_object_property: Array
(
[0] => nice
[1] => try
[name] => Array
(
[0] => guybrush
)
)
*/
?>
4. Use of a sub-array and an additional label
<?php
$foo=array("nice","try",name => array("guybrush","threapwood"))
my_r($foo["name"],"position 1");
/* Outputs:
$foo["name"] #position 1# Array
(
[0] => guybrush
[1] => threapwood
)
*/
?>
5. Use of non existant Variables (standard-behaviour of print_r)
<?php
my_r($foo=array("nice","try","guybrush"));
/* Outputs:
Array
(
[0] => nice
[1] => try
[2] => guybrush
)
*/
?>`

`I've seen a lot of tries to give an easy way to output the "print_r" info in a decent way in you favorite browser.
Here's mine:
echo ("<pre>");
print_r("-->here goes your data to output<--");
echo ("<pre>");
I personaly think this is the easyest way.

`some functions I find useful for debugging.
/**
* dump the object in a base.class.php :: print_r2() fashon
this function is for debugging purposes only (obviously)
@see d2()
@param $obj an array of elements, that may have elements that are also arrays.
@param $color the color of the output (useful, when you need to call this several times,
and you need a certain structure to stand out from the others, or simply to differentiate them)
color-coding stuff is a great wa to work, consider this:
@code
p2($struct,'red');
@endcode
to find the function call, just search "red".
in case you find yourself lost, you can always sue the line numbers, @see $dinfo
@param $dinfo see http://www.php.net/debug_backtrace for nifo on debug info.,
0: no info, 1: function call, 2: full backtrace.
@param $title simple remarks you can put to aid you in development. i.e.
@code
$a=array(1,2,3,5,6)
//this
p2($a,'',0,'the numbers');
//is more meaningful than this:
p2($a);
@code
This is particulary true when dealing with many p2()
It is recomended that you *don't* delete p2()'s calls from your code,
but rather document them:
@code
//insightfull comments about spected output
//p2($a123,'',1,'Items in list')
@endcode
or, if you feel more confortable with logging, use this:
$this->log(gp2($struct)); @see gp2()
You can also use p2() as a call trace: helper
@code
function a(){
b();
}
function b(){
c();
}
function d(){
a();
}
function c(){
p2(1,'',2,'backtrace');
}
d();
@endcode
note the use of p2(1), as a simple backtrace enables, you can use
p2($anything,'',2) to display the log, or p2($anything) to show the call route.
the call route follows the following format:
@ file : function : function_call_line_number -> current_line_number
i.e.
@std.php:filter_link():1222->2142
where current line number is the line where the p2() call is, and "function call number"
is the line where the current function was called from (useful as hell).

`Sometimes print_r produces large output, especially when the data hierarchy is too deep. It is very difficult to analyze the dump about 1Mb length.
It would be great to have some way to fold arrays and objects and to look deeper into hierarchy only on demand.
Here is the solution. Just pass the print_r output to debug_var function:
debug_var('title', print_r($var, true));
and it will produce nice html with folding option.

`Here's a short function that can export php arrays to javascript arrays.
<?php
function php_to_js($array, $base) {
$js = '';
foreach ($array as $key=>$val) {
if (is_array($val)) {
$js .= php_to_js($val, $base.(is_numeric($key) ? '['.$key.']' : "['".addslashes($key)."']"));
} else {
$js .= $base;
$js .= is_numeric($key) ? '['.$key.']' : "['".addslashes($key)."']";
$js .= ' = ';
$js .= is_numeric($val) ? ''.$val.'' : "'".addslashes($val)."'";
$js .= ";\n";
}
}
return $base." = new Array();\n".$js;
}
?>
Example use:
<?php
$my_array = array('gdsag' => 4, 'hello', array(5, 6));
echo '<script>'.php_to_js($my_array).'</script>';
?>
This would output:
<script>
jsvarname = new Array();
jsvarname['gdsag'] = 4;
jsvarname[0] = 'hello';
jsvarname[1] = new Array();
jsvarname[1][0] = 5;
jsvarname[1][1] = 6;
</script>
Now the array is loaded in the browser as javascript. As you can see, it supports multidimensional arrays too.`

`For very long arrays I have written a little function which formats an array quite nice and uses javascript for browsing it like a tree. The function is very customizable with the $style parameter.
For me it's of great use for browsing large array's, for example when those are used in language-files in some script and so on. It may even be used in "real" scripts for the "real" front-end, cause the tree can very easily be styled (look at the function or the outputted source and you'll see what i mean).
Here's the function:
<?php
function print_r_html($arr, $style = "display: none; margin-left: 10px;")
{ static $i = 0; $i++;

The function as it is now does not support the $return parameter as print_r does and will create an endless loop like print_r did in php-versions < 4.0.3 when there is an element which contains a reference to a variable inside of the array to print out :-/
I've tested it with PHP 5.0.6 and PHP 4.2.3 - no problems except those already mentioned.
please e-mail me if you've got a solution for the problems i've mentioned, i myself are not able to solve them 'cause i don't know how the hell i can find out whether a variable is a reference or not.`

`Print arrays formatted for a browser easily:
<?php
function print_html_r( $aData ) {
echo nl2br( eregi_replace( " ", " ", print_r( $data, TRUE ) ) );
}
?>`

`You can't use print_r($var, TRUE) inside a function which is a callback from ob_start() or you get the following error:
Fatal error: print_r(): Cannot use output buffering in output buffering display handlers`
add a note
serialize isset
