Data Dumper

This script displays all kinds of PHP-variables (or any PHP-resource) with syntax highlighting, indenting and variable type information to the screen or in a file in a very intuitive format

This Script was developed using the scripts "dumpr" and "dBug".

I added the following features:

Use:

Display variable on screen:
include('dd.php');
d($variable);
de($variable); //exits after displaying

Log variable in file:
$DD[logfile] = 'somedir/somefile.htm'; // without this line logfile is 'ddlog.htm'
df($variable);
// the newest variable is logged at the beginning of the file
