devel_helper.module
Devel add-on module that outputs a themer friendly alternative to dprint_r, dpr, and dvm.
This module generates a prettier and friendlies output for the dprint_r() function that allows themers and developers to cut-n-paste the displayed variable references. Long strings of text and (x)html are also suppressed to insure that the output is read-able. Finally, themers and developers can control the number of nested arrays and objects to be displayed and then toggle open and close the arrays or objects they wish to examine.
<?php
// Basic examples
dprx($variables);
// This generate an output that initially display 3 levels of data.
dprx($variables, 3);
// This is the recommended format for the value parameter.
// By passing in the variable name ($variables) into dprint_rx()
// the output will contain the full PHP string for every variable.
dprx(array('$variables' => $variables));
?>Learn more about the dprint_rx() function and view an example at my website http://thebigbluehouse.com/printr-not-pretty.
Notes
- Loosely based on contemplates contemplate_array_variables() recursion.
- Style and color scheme is based on the output from ColdFusion's <CFDUMP> tag.
