Dump all vars

bubblenut

Is there are way to dump all the vars on a page. I can do print_r($_GET) etc. for all the global vars but what about all the other vars lurking on the page?

phpinfo() is pretty handy to view all data for $SERVER, $POST, $_GET, and others. Although it won't show the variables you've created...

print_r($GLOBALS);

I want to display all the variables on the page (dosn't have to do function variables)

Ah is extract() what your after?

I think you're going to need to build your own function you pass all your variables to and then print them out (or put them in an array or a class). PHP I don't think has a way for you to keep track of your local variables.

No, that takes an assoc array and places it into variables. I want to print every variable in the page to the screen so I can see all of the variables that are being used on the page. This includes print_r on all variables, that means arrays, strings, ints, etc.

Hmm ok I misread that function 🙂

You can do it with classes and get_class_vars(). Don't know of any procedural way to do it (although theres so many functions I still don't know about )

OK, lets take it from a different angle. If I have a script which includes loads of other files depending on certain parameters, thus making it very difficult to pick through the different files to track the vars is there a way where I can say right what will be the php code processed if I where to type this in at the browser?

Maybe get_included_files() would be a place to start?
