	echo_var
date	2004
update	2006
code	`<?php function echo_var(&$var,$dump=false) { if (!is_array($var)&&!is_object($var)) { echo '<br>'; var_dump($var); return; } if($dump) { echo '<pre>'; var_dump($var); echo '</pre>'; } else { echo '<pre>'; print_r($var); echo '</pre>'; } } ?>`
description	my most needed function :) prints a complete array readable or the type and value of a variable because the variable is passed by reference you can't print a value directly
syntax	`<?php echo_var(mixed var [, bool dump]); ?>`
explanation	set bool true if you want use dump instead of print_r on arrays, theres nothing to tell, just include it to your project and check what you need to know... some examples: `<?php echo_var($var); $var = false; echo_var($var); $var = 2; echo_var($var); $var = 2.76; echo_var($var); $var = 'Hallo'; echo_var($var); $var = ''; echo_var($var); $var = 0; echo_var($var); $var = array('lala','lolo','ha'=>'ho','ha'=>array('a'=>'Aa','b'=>'Bb','123',456),'Niko',42); echo_var($var); $var = array('lala','ha'=>array('a'=>'Aa',456),'Niko'); echo_var($var,true); ?>` echo_var() called in /ichier/htdocs/ACMS/inc/build_page.php(124) : eval()'d code on line 72 NULL echo_var() called in /ichier/htdocs/ACMS/inc/build_page.php(124) : eval()'d code on line 74 boolean FALSE echo_var() called in /ichier/htdocs/ACMS/inc/build_page.php(124) : eval()'d code on line 76 integer 2 echo_var() called in /ichier/htdocs/ACMS/inc/build_page.php(124) : eval()'d code on line 78 double 2.76 echo_var() called in /ichier/htdocs/ACMS/inc/build_page.php(124) : eval()'d code on line 80 string (5) Hallo echo_var() called in /ichier/htdocs/ACMS/inc/build_page.php(124) : eval()'d code on line 82 string (0) echo_var() called in /ichier/htdocs/ACMS/inc/build_page.php(124) : eval()'d code on line 84 integer 0 echo_var() called in /ichier/htdocs/ACMS/inc/build_page.php(124) : eval()'d code on line 86 array (5) Array ( [0] => lala [1] => lolo [ha] => Array ( [a] => Aa [b] => Bb [0] => 123 [1] => 456 ) [2] => Niko [3] => 42 ) echo_var() called in /ichier/htdocs/ACMS/inc/build_page.php(124) : eval()'d code on line 88 array(3) { [0]=> string(4) "lala" ["ha"]=> array(2) { ["a"]=> string(2) "Aa" [0]=> int(456) } [1]=> string(4) "Niko" }
