See two debugging functions:

———————1st One—————————

function dBug($dump)
{
print "<pre>";
var_dump($dump);
print "</pre>";
}

———————————————————-
This one gives debug-data along with datatypes and lengths.

—————————2nd One———————–

function dBug($dump)
{
print "<pre>";
print_r($dump);
print "</pre>";
}

———————————————————–
This one gives debug-data in a formatted way.

Here’s an example:


$myname = array(
'last_name' =>'Razzaque',
'first_name' =>'MA',
'nick_name' =>'Rupom'
);


Result of the first dBug():

array(3) {
["last_name"]=>
string(8) "Razzaque"
["first_name"]=>
string(2) "MA"
["nick_name"]=>
string(5) "Rupom"
}


Result of the second dBug():

Array
(
[last_name] => Razzaque
[first_name] => MA
[nick_name] => Rupom
)


The second dBug() gives more readable debug-data than that of the first one. But the first dBug() is more informative than the second one. So friends, which one should we choose?

Usually I use second one for a more readable debug-data.
