CVarDumper

Package system.utils
Inheritance class CVarDumper
Since 1.0
Version $Id$
Source Code framework/utils/CVarDumper.php
CVarDumper is intended to replace the buggy PHP function var_dump and print_r. It can correctly identify the recursively referenced objects in a complex object structure. It also has a recursive depth control to avoid indefinite recursive display of some peculiar variables.

CVarDumper can be used as follows,
CVarDumper::dump($var);

Method Details

dump() method
public static void dump(mixed $var, integer $depth=10, boolean $highlight=false)
$var mixed variable to be dumped
$depth integer maximum depth that the dumper should go into the variable. Defaults to 10.
$highlight boolean whether the result should be syntax-highlighted
Source Code: framework/utils/CVarDumper.php#41 (show)
public static function dump($var,$depth=10,$highlight=false)
{
    echo 
self::dumpAsString($var,$depth,$highlight);
}

Displays a variable. This method achieves the similar functionality as var_dump and print_r but is more robust when handling complex objects such as Yii controllers.

public static string dumpAsString(mixed $var, integer $depth=10, boolean $highlight=false)
$var mixed variable to be dumped
$depth integer maximum depth that the dumper should go into the variable. Defaults to 10.

{return} string the string representation of the variable
Source Code: framework/utils/CVarDumper.php#55 (show)
public static function dumpAsString($var,$depth=10,$highlight=false)
{
    
self::$_output='';
    
self::$_objects=array();
    
self::$_depth=$depth;
    
self::dumpInternal($var,0);
    if(
$highlight)
    {
        
$result=highlight_string("<?php\n".self::$_output,true);
        
self::$_output=preg_replace('/&lt;\\?php<br \\/>/','',$result,1);
    }
